Funny political statement... without capitalism we wouldn't have:

1.) Video games in general.
2.) First party games
3.) Competitive pricing. (PS3 and XB1 wouldn't have had such major price drops, etc)
4.) Indie developers
5.) Much much more

To clear things up, one of the biggest reasons DLC is as rampant today as it is... is the used game market (and to a limited extent piracy). When a game is only 2 months old, and someone buys a used copy for $5-15 less than a new copy -- the publisher/developer gets ZERO revenue. However, they are still expected to support it with patches, content updates, and online play.

PS: The whole argument about used cars isn't the same as video games. OEMs make very large margins on each car they sell -- and continue to earn money over time via parts, and maintenance (hint DLC... hint).
