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

    Bollocks, any decent game needs a fuck ton of capital to develop

    Please share all the greatest communist games

    Agree that loot boxes suck, they are gambling, not gaming

    Edit. Yes, Tetris. One game made in 1985. Brilliant example Tankards.

    So the score so far for games made:

    Communism - 1

    Capitalism - 831,000

      Minecraft

      Terraria

      Astrox Imperium (this is a single player version of EvE Online, so definitely not for everyone)

      Dyson Sphere Program

      Factorio

      UFO:AI (admittedly this is a FOSS XCOM game that started as a clone of XCOM Apocalypse, and morphed into something bigger)

      All developed by either a single person, or tiny teams with basically no start up capital. I’m sure I can find more, since the FOSS list of games is enormous.

      Labor develops society. Capital enshittifies society.

      Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks
