Its not just in computer games.  The hard political right shift recently has laid bare just how much of an oligarchy the US has become over the last 40-50 years.  We're back into another Gilded Age and you are either a billionaire or you are plankton.  So things like bait-n-switch polls to scoop up more plankton and their financial information are the "new" normal.
