There are obviously limitations, humans being what they are and all. From what I can tell people can go to more extreme lengths in real world relationships than real world commercial monopolies. When played well people can be made to give everything they have. It's seriously pathetic, and painful to watch.

Some people seem to find it hilarious (as in the movie "Saving Silverman,") at least in fiction. I wonder if there's a Trope for that.

Speak not Trope's name lest ye summon it.
