The answer is found in capitalism. Why are gamers, who have continually been fucked by capitalism, so blind at seeing the obvious. '80s game crash: capitalism. Day one DLC: capitalism. Micro transactions: capitalism. All the hardware being hoovered up, so software costs more at every level, increasing prices for both hardware and software: capitalism.
Wouldn’t say that. There is more to humanity than dystopian capitalist fantasies. I, e.g., work for free to help people.
You might do too, if you got what YOU need from others. But yeah, not gonna happen. The vast majority of people will always stay slaves, they just don’t really realize it (yet).

Free labor is a luxury for the affluent.
Yup. But it doesn’t have to be. This species just sucks :)
