“Wherever means necessary” should not be available to corporations. I guess we agree as much.

So you agree with my entire point, but don’t want to admit as such?

That was literally my entire point. That corporations effectively have carte blanche to do what they want, then the tools they use are the ones to take the blame.

Video games are an escape, which can be a problem in and of itself even without exploitative tactics meant to squeeze them of profit… but again, that is a societal problem. The danger of escapism is not so great without something to escape from.
