When the reality is you grow up to be a wage slave whose salary can't even afford you a shelter to live in and you don't get any gratitude or progress in any helpful way in your career and you can't even enjoy any open space without having to pay a price, why even participate in this society?

Ah last in the games you have freedom. You progress. You get recognition. You can afford things.
