Yes, but this game isn't just about random workplace suicides. It's about workplace suicides in the context of manufacturing phones. It's about the specific plant that manufactures these phones. That context is important to understanding the game, and taken outside of that context, yes it would be absurd.
Didn’t someone run the numbers and find that the number of suicides / head at Foxconn was significantly lower than the number of suicides / head for the general population in that region?
We should really be comparing the Foxconn suicide rate with the suicide rate of employed people in the surrounding area. I suspect that the currently unemployed may up a decent part of the general population suicide rate.
