RE: Learning the wrong things from the right games?
It is less about the gaming companies themselves and more about the design of a society that pushes their prominence. The coordination (if that is the right term) is well outside the scope of any one industry.
The government (whispered in a conspiratorial tone) benefits from massive taxes and generations of mindless sheep. :P
Society isn't designed, it is build and rebuilt, all piecemeal, and always by many hands. Coordination is not the right term to describe what I will concede is a sort of "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" type symbiosis. I reject that there is a conspiracy there on the basis of a lack of evidence.
I also think you're far too harsh. Mindless sheep? You're going to need to dust off your fedora man 😜 I know it's in jest but still, you give the overlords too much credit and your fellow human not enough.
