When Rupture Farms shut down I don't really think it really brought the economy down as well. But I know that it was probabbally the beginning of a sort of recession on Oddworld. In the last movie in MO it states something on the condition of the economy. Maybe in future games we will start seeing some sort of magog Great Depression. Lanning stated a long time ago about how the Magog is changeing as we go. Now since a lot of the big industries have been shut down like Saul Storm Brewery and Vykkers Labs and many other industrial Titans, it makes me believe the economy is getting worse worse every time. A lot of industry is being shut down or destroyed so I believe by the end we will see some sort of Great Deppression on Mudos. Interesting thought at least.
