Video games are like the one thing that doesn't cost too much. He's right.

But it's gonna stay like it is, or get hardcore capitalismed and balloon way past anything reasonable.

They already sell you games that they can remotely disable after you've purchased them, so I'd call that past anything reasonable.

Not all games are like that. BG3 is an example of a game that isn’t like that.

Very true, but in general, it's a thing that already happens far too often.
