These rules weren't made to keep the little guy down. Nintendo is not afraid of a game about a catgirl getting raped. Capcom is not afraid. Rockstar is not even afraid. They are not worried about it eating into their market shares. I don't need to read Das Kapital to know that.
I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about a field that see's increased regulation so that the fruits of the patrolled field can be reaped by some company or other that has the right connections. Could be anything, so long as they play the DEI and ESG fields as prescribed by the institutional investors that control our entire economy. You can't watch the same thing happen in near to every sector in our economy and not suspect it reaches further. From medicine to military, newsrooms to payment providers. Increased regulations are paving the way for something else, most of the time.
