I'll meet you halfway. I don't think there are elites meeting in dark rooms discussing how to pacify us through games and media. I DO, however, think that they effectively do have that effect and can be co-opted. Atleast as far as media and news media in particular is concerned, certain segments of that industry HAVE been co-opted by nefarious, self interested actors with their own agendas. Sometimes business, sometimes government.

I completely agree. I don't think they're in dark rooms and this is basically what I'm alluding to.

Games can be a form of a therapy, something that books, social media and other passive media lack is a direct engagement and a clear defined goal and achievements. If anything, games are getting less and less engaging, I find myself struggling to pick and choose my huge backlog of games in my downtime, I get choice exhaustion and just opt to do nothing instead but when a game does hook you, you hope you can keep up the motivation to keep playing.

News about that rumored Final Fantasy Tactics remake/remaster would pacify me.

I am pacified.
