Why does it feel like the industry is obsessed with holding gamers hostage?

It's kinda weird isn't it. The powers that be, whomever they are, finally realised that vidya was vastly more profitable than film. And instead of simply backing that horse they continue funneling untold amounts of cash into shitty movies while almost absent-mindedly trying to shake down gamers. It tells you something about their perception of the customer base, and whether there's truth to it.

because a game making profit and moving on is not what they want anymore, they want a product that continues to shit money monthly forever like gacha does

because you're cattle. the people making money off of video games are out in the real world hanging out on private beaches, driving super cars, fucking supermodels, and every other activity you play video games to get even a taste of.

Video games are a relatively young industry, which means its much easier to make people swallow any bullshit you throw at them. Just look at the start of smartphone games and how they could be way more greedy way out of the gate, because there was no real "standard" for how things should be, when they tried to put the same shit in PC and console games there was more pushback

You forgot about required-online even for single player games so your data can be harvested.

That's the problem. There is no "gamer revolt" to demand certain rights from the industry.

Zombie industry. Instead of innovating gameplay, technology or IPs they just rehash old stuff and innovate new ways to extract money from your wallet.

Let it die.

The majority don't even finish or make it halfway through their games. They rage-quit from artificial difficulty, lose interest, or get repelled by woke ugliness.

stop playing modern day shit slop
all of the good games don't use any of that garbage.
We're lucky if there's even 1 modern game worth buying every half decade outside of that all of the real gamers are playing older games.

More than that. Control. Gabe Newell's original mission statement with Steam was to eliminate used-game sales. The whole industry is moving in that direction, and for bonus points they're engaging in the kind of totalitarian monitoring and censorship that George Orwell warned about. First they take away all ownership rights from customers, and then they lay their terms of constant supervision.

And people happily go along with it under Klaus Schwab's "You will own nothing and be happy for it" principle.
