Companies are run by people too.. Just because they feel very distant to you, doesn't mean that there isn't human behind the product. And yes, companies want to make money so their business decisions can seem very inhuman from time to time, but without the money, there's no company / online game in the first place.

Uhhhh workers make the product and don’t see any of the surplus value of their labor?????
I wonder if wages have gone up since the major developers have introduced predatory monetization into 60 dollar games?? Oh wait no they do the same shit and lay people off to seem profitable and attract more venture capital.
