Yup, it’s Bread and Circuses all over again.
also something to note: they intentionally edge the fans constantly - the game’s only an hour long. but we gotta pause play for commercials every few fucking moments, over and over again. punctuate edging with violent conflict - add in the lore/fanfic/tradition/dream job aspects - oh yeah, it keeps their attention.
