I have debt on a house that shrinks with inflation.
Don't you have interest rates?
Do you have to buy stuff?
Those shitty games are literally only made because people pay for them. Why would they waste their time making propaganda that no one even looks at?
Dustborn was made because people bought it?
Do you believe there is not a single person working for those big publishers who could explain the in-depth market analysis that boobs sell and queer shit doesn't?
BlackRock can issue credit directly from the Fed. That means they can ask for money before inflation hits and invest that money in, let's say, propaganda. Once inflation hits, prices in the grocery store go up. They have a stakeholder system called ESG. Stakeholder capitalism, which is what they push, is all about getting away from shareholder capitalism, where a company’s goal is to be profitable. The stakeholder system is all about a company placing social engineering goals before profitability, and the biggest investment firms have created a separate pressure system that forces companies to fall in line.
This whole system isn't sustainable and it will erode the economy, but BlackRock is betting on China winning anyway. So destroying the US and the West doesn't only align with their religious beliefs but also with their goals as BlackRock.
Most game sales numbers are lower now than for comparable games from 20 years ago, and if a modern AAA title is considered a success, it has sales numbers equal to a success back then. Twenty years ago there were roughly 200 million gamers. Nowadays there are 4 billion gamers. Considering that their production budgets are at least 20x those of games from 20 years ago, the same goes for marketing budgets, and with a magnitudes-larger market, this is abysmal performance. They are not retarded. They also realize this is the case and they don't care.
Big-budget media doesn't need to be profitable anymore, because we have a stakeholder-based system now.
All that said, you are still somewhat right that they of course would love you to directly pay for the propaganda slop they create. That is why there is so much consolidation in media and why they push so relentlessly for subscription models. In their ideal world, there is one publisher, so you pay them for that one game you like and indirectly pay for the hundreds of propaganda games they create. And with a game subscription model, you get a similar system as you have with TV: 99% shitty propaganda slop and rarely something good.
Your wallet is impotent.
