Something about this is very distressing to me.

Millions of essentially rich middle upper class banding together effortlessly to petition the government to save their entertainment. Meanwhile there are people spending their whole lives to get even a tiny sliver of support for things like human rights violations.

Games aren't exactly restricted to "upper middle class", they're mainstream entertainment (just look at Brazilians complaining about regional pricing). And if you want to make caring about things (art in this case; incidentally also entertainment) a competition, I got some lobbyists up the EU's bottom you can get upset about first.

Gaming really is global. Basically everywhere that can afford the devices which now include the "middle income" countries. So only ones really left out are really the poorest of the poor. If you can afford smartphone you can get on some gaming. Or even cheap computers including second hand ones.
