I hate how you can't have any sort of attachment to anything under capitalism. Nothing matters, everything is slop to be consumed and thrown away so you can buy more slop. Caring about anything is something to be mocked.

Everything made by capitalism just keeps getting more and more hollow. Hardly is it allowed to just be creative people having fun or telling their story anymore. Even the rare times something good gets wings, it eventually gets taken away by capital, like what happened to the Disco Elysium dev team.

I see it happen over and over again. The people make something good, it gets popular, capitalism buys it and then strips it for parts, it then becomes a focus tested product that ends up being a hollow shell of itself.

It happened to music. It happened to books. It happened to movies and TV. It happened to games. It happens to everything. A cynical contempt for both creatives and consumers and even the product itself seems to radiate from the corporations responsible.
