Value is now only _extracted_. Place the acquired good into the press and smash it until all but the faintest essence remains among the mash. The squeezings are bottled and saved to pay for future _extractions_.

Companies like Valve can continue largely unshittificated because they are private. Once that is no longer the case, all our game rentals will be squozen away from us.

TIL squozen is the past participle of squeeze, but only because I first thought hah this guy is making words up. Foiled again!

Gabe Newell has an $11bn net worth so he hasn't exactly been not squeezing.
