If you've rediscovered your love of video games while in quarantine over the past few months, you certainly wouldn't be alone. But as any avid gamer knows, it's not exactly an inexpensive hobby.

This may worth something:

‘Tonight We Riot’ and the Rise of the Socialist Video Game | Observer
Tonight We Riot is a new, unapologetically anti-capitalist video game created by a worker-owned game development coop. Means Interactive
Tonight We Riot is an explicitly socialist offering in an industry that often flirts with but rarely commits to these principles. Influential titles like Bioshock , Borderlands , and The Outer Worlds have, in their own ways, prodded at the cruelties of capitalism.
