I challenge you to find a single interesting thing about those shitty asset-flip fighting games that are just a collection of models along with two movesets whose animations were probably also bought. I'm alright with solo dev jank and even the boring rpg-maker games (though it tests me sometimes), but there are some games that represent nothing to the human condition except a waste of time for everyone involved so the devs can make a total of like $20.

All of those things exist entirely because of the profit motive, in theory under global socialism they just shouldn’t exist anymore. Someone would always put some kind of emotion into it even if it’s attention seeking, because there’d be no other reason to make games (unless you’re employed by the state in which case, I REALLY doubt the state’s profesional game dev team is going to do badly)
