At some point start introducing power creep so players want to purchase access to new classes and feats.
4th edition already pulled that grift, making each additional book full of Glowing Eyed Generic Epic People a bit more power-creeped than the last.
Updated for the 21st century: a status quo enforcer with police and presidential loyalty ties that really likes neon and having sex with people that like neon while maintaining the status quo in a way that makes them a Legend of Night City™.
dae die a hero or live long enough to become the villain wow this cryptofascist auteur has such epic wisdom let’s go punch poor people 
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? 
I am going to get downvoted for this, but (community popular opinion) 
Vay Hek threatening to hurl the Lotus into deep space just doesn’t have the same punch, though.
Credulous bazingas are more likely to extend compassion and empathy to a propability-driven recitation machine than they are to a living beings that visibly and obviously experience pain and distress.

Expect a lot of smirking, winking, and excessive use of “squelch” sounds. 
They’ll probably try the “blind bag” monetization of minis again… or worse, do “blind bags” of subscription model virtual minis with log-in bonus and “battle pass” shit. 
Digital art, at the least, didn’t uplift itself at the uncredited expense of the artists themselves, pushing them further into precarity.
you instead surrender the creativity to someone’s fickle whims
The corpos want entire game groups to surrender their own creativity to the diluted reconstituted slop churned out by the treat printers… and pay for that privilege.
I’m sure some will go for it, and never experience the joy of being creative themselves, or having a creative Dungeon Master for that matter. Just line up for more IP-regurgitating slop that burns down acres of forest amid all the prompt retries! 
The Wizards of the Lost Kingdom movies are a fine slice of the fantasy side of cheese, as is the delightfully named Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell.
Oh, and Delta Knights!

Hard mode might be “Agent From H.A.R.M.” because there’s long stretches of very little happening, but what happens can be downright hilarious.
Space Mutiny is easily the best “introduction” episode to the show for newcomers and it remains a classic that shows what MST3K is all about.
I do want to give honorable mention to Star Crash, a Jonah-era Italian attempt to do Star Wars featuring a surprisingly famous actor playing the space emperor, a cowboy drawling bounty hunter robot, and a lady wearing transparent plastic that grits her teeth a lot. It’s a good time too.
If this regulatory evil comes to Burgerland…
NOOOOO HOW WILL THE SMOL BEAN TREAT COMPANIES MAKE CAWADOODY REBOOTED TITLE NUMBER ZOMBIE EDITION NOW?! 
Gabor Maté seemed to be spewing even more “human nature” excuses for anything and everything bad that people can possibly do.
sir, another sale has hit the Wal-Mart
