Even just the word makes me feel so tired at this point
Hard to avoid feeling embittered by the knowledge that so many people are forced to work pointless jobs they hate purely to justify the validity of the system of our collective oppression, while artists are spurned for charging half the cost of a fast food burrito for something they spent 3 years meticulously pouring their soul into. What the fuck even is this reality, man.
Quality truly does not matter, nor does effort, when compared to the impact and significance of being born rich, being connected, or just being so cynically ruthless and pandering that you roll out cynical pandering trash that presses as many easy dopamine buttons as possible for the largest possible batch of consumers.
I just wish you could like, opt-out of capitalism. I would happily renounce any contention for the ravenous accumulation of capital, in exchange for having my basic needs met. With any other game, when it's this rigged, the only option I would ever consider is to simply not play. But of course, the system doesn't work unless enough people are forced to be cogs endlessly worn down.
It's bleak, even Jokerfying, to contemplate the possibility I could have conceivably written something as sloppy as, say, "Ready Player One" and with a little initial nudge of failson privilege or at least friends in high places it could have been very profitable.
Games can be quite similar: some of the most profitable games are creatively bankrupt while pressing lots of addiction buttons for monetization purposes. RAID: Shadow Legends is only one of the most infamous examples.

I know how you feel all too well.
