The entire game story is a reflexion on cast/class in society albeit set in a medieval feudal world where nobles wage a war that brings suffering to the peasents who thus starts a revolution
Apparently, from articles I read about the Canadian law, Australia tried something similar but fang got it reversed.
The problem is that Canada is a small market. FANG doesn't need the revenue from it but they would hate for these laws to become popular so they'll try to make an example out of Canada.
Canada just passed legislation forcing Google and face book to pays for each showing (or redirecting?) of a Canadian news url. The law aims at redistributing money from internet giants back to news sites. Google and Facebook are threatening to just outright stop including Canadian news URL.
It's a bold move from the government, I'm not for how I feel about it.
A more useful guideline would be something like: how to steer a conversation to be constructive for both parties.
I couldn't get chatgpt to make this into a spectrum like in the pyramid but if you invert the order of the negative impact section and concatenate it after the positive liste you get the text for that pyramid. It does make sense though
Positive Impact:
Collaborative problem-solving
Active listening and empathy
Finding common ground
Constructive feedback
Open-ended questions
Positive tone and inclusive language
Clarifying and paraphrasing
"I" statements
Avoiding defensiveness and judgment
Seeking solutions together
Negative Impact:
Interrupting or talking over the other person
Dismissing or invalidating the other person's perspective
Using aggressive or confrontational language
Making personal attacks or insults
Ignoring or belittling the other person's feelings
Dominating the conversation and not allowing equal participation
In Montreal an Airbnb cought fire and killed 6 guests and one tenant because the owner converted a house to multiple Airbnb ignoring all regulation (including fire marshal rules)

The french media had some follow up stories describing the owner total lack it respect for regulation. The province ended up banning Airbnbs but I don't know the details of the bag
Saudi Arabia are currently a significant portion of venture capital. They have a ton of money coming from a dying source (oil) so they need to diversify.
I know Ence is one team in CSGO who's generating profits. They are a smaller orgs that has in game success.
I think the issue is you have some teams full of venture money that inflates the salaries and makes it super hard for other teams to have in game success while not going broke.
That being said my suggestion for csgo (it's only scene I follow) would be leagues line in traditional sports. Each team plays a game every week and you have playoffs at the end of the year. Put those league games on your own platform and have people pay a subscription to watch. I would pay up to 100$/year (I'm aware I'm the exception). With this model you might even be able to have a few hubs where games are played at a small venue in front of paying crowd. I could imagine a few hubs where teams would move to to play regularly. Something like: New York, Rio, Malta, Copenhagen, Moscow
I think one of the biggest problem is demographics, the younger generations that's in eSports is broke. No eSports fan is going to buy a Dodge RAM (using this as an example because traditional sports are littered with pick up ads and the car industry is a huge advertiser because they need to constantly gaslight people into thinking that driving isn't a chore)
