It has nothing to do with games or wasting resources, it has to do with dissent. Authorities doesn't like when you challenge their righteousness. In dictatorships you're arrested by the secret police, accused of immoral acts, tortured, made to confess and made an example of anyway. In the US you're arrested by the intelligence unit, accused of "related" charges, thrown in custody for 34 hours, made to accept a plea bargain and made an example of anyway. Disfavor, smear, pressure, self-incriminate and then abuse. Same pattern.
