Maybe it's a psyop by the capitalists to make you accept the working world as it currently exists. Or maybe it gives people a taste of a specific occupation without having to do it in irl since it'll be more difficult and time consuming in real life

all the recent ones are streamer/vtuber bait,made on purpose when they search for "safe" things to stream that doesn't need too much attention to detract from interacting with the chats/other people they're collabing with.
no idea why people buy those assets flips for real tho

feeling of achieving things without actually exerting yourself physically

they are the discord version of party games, I don't know how else to describe them. you play them for like 3 hours with your discord friends and that's it. there is maybe a dozen of games that people actually play and it is all stuff like league of legends, e-sporty soul crushers

No, it's petite bourgeois escapism either into proledom or into a more stable petite bourgeois position, it's games by the upper middle class for the upper middle class, it's the same appeal of being a serf in a medieval RP, the dream of expendibility

Under communism, all real life jobs will be fun and quirky like these job simulator games

Really paraphrasing old Adorno and Horkheimer here: as capitalism regiments your entire life with work, it also ensures that even your free time has to be rationally administered away from your control with obligatory breaks, vacations and so on. Thus, free time itself starts to resemble work. I'd say MMOs were already a pretty clear sign and these wage labor simulators might be its final distillation by removing all unnecessary fantasy trappings and revealing it as what it always was: work. Logical next step from here? Auschwitz Simulator, if this inhuman trend of crushing all autonomous play in the maws of capitalism for the sake of production continues.

It's just streamer bait.
