But DO they really care about it? Or is this just to placate the plebs again?

I’ll know they care when they actually manage to do something about it.

This FTC is incredibly aggressive. Lina khan is the head, a person who made waves in academia by basically redefining antitrust laws in the digital age, with a specific animus for Amazon. Shes led with FTC with teeth

During her tenure, the FTC has pushed to ban non-compete agreements, filed lawsuits against health care companies engaging in anti-competitive practices, and launched a high-profile lawsuit against Amazon.[3] In 2022, the FTC and the DOJ’s anti-trust division blocked a record number of mergers on anti-trust grounds.[4] ABC News described her as taking a more aggressive approach on anti-trust, and earning some conservative supporters during her confirmation and tenure.[1]

I dunno. I was mostly just trying to explain why the federal government might care about video game pricing at all.
