We had a plan. It didn't work, because gamers are fucking addicts that can't resist peer pressure. "What do you mean I shouldn't buy the new WoW expansion? Yo, Fallout skins just $10! Hey, PS4s are pretty cool! OMG SWITCH MUST CONSOOM". Even pirates that won't pay for the game but then play it anyway ceding mindshare and discussion contribute to the problem.
Sure, ESG money that originates close to the printing presses are a thing, but look at the state of games media all folding up around us. That gravy train didn't last forever.
