      Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.

      Lust - Greed for sex

      Sloth - Greed for relaxation

      Gluttony - Greed for food

      Envy - Greed of others stuff

      The only two that don’t really fit under greed is pride and wrath

    You know, I remember there being a video about this. Like a long format video essay in which nintendo was the last videogame company to be mentioned and the sin was pride.

    I don’t remember who made the video, but I think it was super eyepatch wolf or another youtuber with a similar style. I tried looking for the video but I couldn’t find it. It was really good.

    I remember EA was greed, Valve was Sloth. And l think Bethesda was lust(? (Because of constant harrassment allegations in their offices or something like that), but the narrator kept reminding the audience that all game companies were all guilty of the same sins.

    T’was really interesting

    Lots of words that really just mean Greed (Glutton, Lust, Envy).

    It’s like people have known for thousands of years that greedy people are the fuckin worst

      That’s because the sins are about exerting your will over others’/the community’s benefit and we use greed to mean wanting. Pride is greed for accolades, sloth is greed for rest, wrath is greed for emotional release.
