Military shooters are a monopoly. The Call of Duty behemoth has muscled into the genre and put up tall walls around it, and even with the roller coaster quality of COD releases, people pay up every year and walk through the door. But one can hardly blame Activision for capitalising on its competitors' blunders. Electronic Arts never quite came close to toppling Call of Duty from its perch with its Battlefield franchise, but it did manage to erode the series' goodwill with Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V.

Far from serving as a figurative and literal vehicle for freedom and independence, cars exclude vast numbers of people from full enfranchisement in society -children, older people who have lost the ability to drive, people with disabilities that prevent them from driving, people who can't afford to buy or operate a car. Automobiles have produced far more collective damage to the world, in terms of death, illness, and environmental destruction, than nearly any other invention in human history.
