Just watched this 5 minute video:

“Why Aren’t Games Fun Anymore?” by Jackus

And it pretty clearly lays out the Hedonic treadmill and describes depression and alienation under capitalism, even calling out the companies who are just churning out games for profit. But then he blames the games and says he doesn’t enjoy them anymore because they’re not as good.

Is that the point and I’m just taking it at face value when I shouldn’t be? It’s just super sad for someone to basically express the experience of becoming an adult under capitalism, but then completely externalize the cause.
