As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations

Yeah right. Capital accumulation just comes via bribes instead. Corruption was rife in communist countries
FTFY
But moreso where there's no opportunity to make money
Lol, there's plenty of opportunity to make money under socialism. You just have to do the labor. Under capitalism, however, there exists opportunity to derive money from other people's surplus labor value, for example, I can pay a worker $4 to make a thing that requires $1 in supplies and sell that for $10. That difference of $5 is stolen surplus value from the laborer. Socialists seek to abolish this parasitic relationship.
