If companies were owned by the state, they would make whatever products they're told to make, typically products that people are unhappy with. And they wouldn't have to brainwash people into liking it, because if people don't like it, it's tough shit, they have no choice.
Throughout the 20th century, every attempt to create a centrally planned, state owned economy of significant size has resulted in poor efficiency, high pollution, bad working conditions, low standards of living, and a populace that is generally unhappy with the goods and services produced by the economy. A true free market economy beats a state run economy any time.
This is good so far, however...
The problem with the current state of western capitalism is that unchecked consolidation has severely reduced competition in a number of industries, so the markets aren't really free anymore.
Now, having "unchecked consolidation" is part of the free market you appear to champion so effectively, this is part of the freedom of the market. However, you seem to be saying that "unchecked consolidation" denies a free market!
Hence, you suggest that freedom must be regulated - a contradiction.
Contradictions do not exist. Check your premises, one of them is wrong.

My suggestion is that Majestic may be a good concept, but before its time, or poorly implemented, poorly marketed, or just lacking a certain factor to make it more appealing to gamers.
