Gaming is one of thr few places people can attempt to taste a world without capitlaism. Like, everytime capitlaism touching gaming it gets worse. I am a shitty enough white guy that seeing capitlaism destroy NPCs primed me for radiclaization as a youth. Like I didn't yet know a better world was possible but I was tasked with creating a better world for the pixels in my care and I got to see first hand how liberalism was a failing tech tree.
That's getting a lot harder to do with the "live service" always online season pass driven hypermonetized trash choking up much of the industry.
Not even China is free of this
I HATE GACHA WAIFU TRASH
I HATE GACHA WAIFU TRASH
Even their headphone/earphone industry isn't free of it

Sometimes. Other times seeing pay to win and feeling in microcosom how capitalism is destroying a thing you once loved is verty instructive
