When I talk to those kinds of people I can't help but be reminded games are capitalist treats at their core. At least when im playing something older like Super Metroid or Super Mario RPG, it's a bit easier to forget.
there was some grassroots video game development in the socialist bloc back in the 80s, but it was mostly limited to a few nerds and due to their technological disadvantage in the field of chips, not that complex either.
