As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations

Lol, there's plenty of opportunity to make money under socialism. You just have to do the labor. Under capitalism, however, there exists opportunity to derive money from other people's surplus labor value, for example, I can pay a worker $4 to make a thing that requires $1 in supplies and sell that for $10. That difference of $5 is stolen surplus value from the laborer. Socialists seek to abolish this parasitic relationship.
Yeah, fuck that. I've had over 30 jobs in 30 years, I just played the game, retired once, now I have the luxury of no debt and passive income, I can go all in on green tech.
Plus, you have to trust that the central government knows best. Looking at things like the famine in China after the 4 pest policy and the govt's recent performance where I live in the UK, I have zero faith, in either system.
Time for something new
