Late Stage Capitalism

When COD Mobile (both Global and Garena) released in October 2019 - less than 4 years ago - it had 50 Tiers in the battle pass. I came back and it's 200 tiers now, which is insane.

It's especially shocking to see as one of the OG players of CODM - I played it since launch - to see firsthand just how desperate capitalism has become at squeezing the proles of as much money as possible at every possible level including something as mundane as gaming.

Even the big gaming industry has become a rent-extracting sector. Thank goodness, games with culture, like Genshin, exist.

Even though I don't play it

How does Genshin have culture. It can't even run on a potato phone
