First, there are several factions imo:
The Imperial Crown
The Crown does not rule every cycle the same way. It blesses selectively. Some years it favors the house of ritual play and tight mechanics. Other years it nods toward cinematic ambition and spectacle. The favor is subtle but decisive. When the Crown leans toward Sony, polish and prestige rise. When it leans toward Nintendo, form and discipline harden. The one not favored does not revolt. It adjusts. It bows. It studies the wind and falls in line because survival matters more than pride.
The Jewish Technocratic Financier Cabal
This bloc does not wave banners. It writes terms. It does not need devotion. It needs signatures. It moves through licensing, storefront percentages, payment rails, platform cuts. It is disciplined and cold. It prefers predictability over passion. It funds what scales. It tolerates what pays. If Evangelicals cheer it, that is useful. It does not return affection. It returns quarterly statements. When platforms open their gates to PC, it is rarely romance. It is margin and leverage. Distribution widens because capital prefers open pipes.
The Evangelical Heartland
This faction values fellowship and solidity. It wants systems that work on Friday night and do not wobble. It rallies around what feels sturdy and familiar. It respects competition and grit. It will back a platform that seems dependable and unpretentious. But affection runs one way. The platforms take the loyalty and still chase broader markets. When Xbox exclusives drift to PC, the Heartland grumbles but adapts. It believes in the team even when the team hedges its bets.
Gabe the Merchant Prince
Gabe does not plant a flag. He builds a marketplace. He studies factions and trades with all of them. He understands that neutrality can be a throne of its own. When the Crown favors ritual play, he sells it. When the Titan expands to PC, he hosts it. When the Sony Prestige Court demands distribution, he provides it. He is shrewd because he does not need to win a culture war. He needs traffic. He aligns without kneeling. He profits without declaring allegiance.
