Yes, in a simple term. It's different in terms of victor and victim, when it comes to direct killing. Squid Game has victor(s) as the State, while the Hunger Games as the individuals.
There's an online commentator that took a deep dive into the basis of the story, equating it to a popular thesis that the capitalist economy is evil. Another commentator equating it to an extreme version or torture movies, and appeal to those that enjoy "violent/torture porn" (kinda like "food porn").

I'm very interested in the new Halo Series that's going to drop on Paramount+ tonight . . .
(Quoted cNet Article Below)
"Many will wince when watching the Halo series, as the iconic green and yellow helmet rises to reveal actor Pablo Schreiber's face. As someone who's played virtually every Halo game and is emotionally invested in the Master Chief, something in my gut told me this was wrong. For whatever image I had of Spartan John-117 built in my mind, Schreiber wasn't it. He was, for the lack of better description . . . too normal.
But after a moment (or two) of processing the scene, and after making a conscious decision to let the story unfold over the next few episodes, I realized it was smart to rip off the bandage (or helmet) early.
Blasphemy, you say? Maybe. But seeing this war-weary face, of a man questioning the military authority he's been raised to obey, is key for the show given how much the other characters, the story, and really the entire universe, hinges upon this one character. This isn't Star Wars, where the characters and settings are well understood by the masses. Halo will need to educate many viewers on the different races, worlds and political dynamics, and it does that through John's eyes."
Definitely NOT the Mandalorian - Although I Must Say I'm Intrigued, So I Guess I'll Take a Deep Breath and See Where This Ride Takes Me . . .
