I figured social media was already doing that further left of an event by shadow banning posters that could create communities and foster protests. It is far cheaper to keep people feeling helpless and disconnected from other disenfranchised people.

The second to last time i bought DLC at launch was the assassins creed game in colonial america, which was a waste of money. Then Starfield came out and you could play it a weekend early if you bought DLC, another scam. It is so much more fun to buy an indy game in alpha and get an update every few months from someone isnt a whore for share holders.
