That predates Shakespeare. Imagine if Shakespeare had written a play about gamer oppression.

Not violent enough for Shakespeare.

But it would have been great for a Shakespearian minor joke character bit.

GUARD: "See, milord, how in this year's almanack the booba hath been veil'd, compared to last year's edition."

KING: "Greatly?"

GUARD: "Yes, greatly indeed! Two inches of cloth more!"

KING: "Thou art a nutter and I ought to throw thee in the madhouse."

GUARD: "But you wouldn't dare, sire? Tales of your treachery and oppression already circle widely."

KING: "Thou shouldst consider thee lucky that we have to get the Hell onward with our plot."
