Dude, wtf? Why such a wall of text for such a simple comment? Calm down.
We live in a hard world, people are constantly suffering a shit ton of everything, if people enjoy playing these kind of games because it provides a little bit of escapism then I am happy for them.
Yes that’s exactly my point, if people weren’t alienated by capitalism these mundane games would probably have no audience. At least that’s my theory.
It is a complex issue, I did not mean to be aggressive, it is just hard to get to my point in a brief way.
I disagree, though, I do not think this inherently an issue within capitalism, since anything can be ludified and whst is presented here is not something out of ordinary for video games. I guesd we are so used to that our video games are about combat, war, murder and shooting that when we see something different it just doesn’t seem a correct way of spending our time.

Just want you to know I loved your long comment, it summised my understanding of the subject far better than I could.
