    Heres how that works:

    Gaming got popular.

    Normies like fancy graphics, production value, and are swayed by fake trailers.

    Corpos discovered they could turn everything into primarily a market for subscriptions and micro transactions, that houses a game, and most normies kept paying for all that untill the economy entered the Second Great Depression.

    … its basically Dutch Disease, but for video gaming.
