All your silicon valley is belong to me. This includes Sony, Nintendo, Valve, and Microsoft for their censorship and greed. And the other silicon valley tech sites had it coming for being Mossad/FBI too. Their work with the federal and intelligence agencies needs to be exposed.
They take to social media and talking-point all the effort put into it and the crew passion for it, and any number of tangential factors which aren't actual merit, and conclude that you should buy it. You're also deemed unempathetic if you don't, a non-human to be berated/cancelled/killed.
It's literally just Marxist valuation; they worked on something and they think that means they get paid for it automatically and proportionally to hours, versus a subjective value reality which buys stuff based on quality and demand.
Just a little pattern which seems to be on the rise over the last year or two. The public herd is always a decade behind the culturally hyper-aware, but at least that means some early 2010s revelations are rolling into scope and they're now detecting the slop early enough to impact the slop economy. DIE money still exists, but seems it's now being budgeted more carefully; the sponsors are paying for people to see more niggers and don't want to pay if people aren't watching.
(Also a great example of the UBI fallacy; DIE money to produce economically infeasible propaganda is basically a UBI mechanism, yet the recipient is always then on a permanent hook for something in return...)
