    America is only free market when it comes to policies that protect consumers.

    On the books, maybe. But if we enforced those laws, the AAA games industry wouldn’t now be down to a few giant nesting dolls of buy-outs.

      I meant that when anyone proposes a law or regulation to protect consumers, it gets shot down for the excuse of the free market will correct itself. And when it does try to correct itself, the billionaire class just buys up the legislators to bail them and their failing businesses out. Sorry for not being clear.
