Why do you think a popular genre of games these days are life Sim stuff that gets weirdly mundane.
People want to be able to build computers or drive a truck or a train or clean a pool but dont want to not be paid a livable wage to do so. So nw we all make believe.
Just can't seem to get the real world in line so now its just all pretend. Thats the part that sucks.
Combine this with one of those cosy spaces apps, so like all the garbage you buy needs to be managed or your cosy space devolves into a hoarder house or something. That would be a neat game.
Real work in real life for shit wages? 🖐️🙂↔️
Fake work in a video game for thousands of dollars a month fron Patreon and Twitch donators? ☝️🙂↕️
