i want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and i'm not kidding

Same. Be cool if there was some kind of "ethically made without worker exploitation" seal of approval for games.

We already have that, it's called FOSS.

Facetiousness aside, I really don't think there are any commercially released games that fit the bill.

I don't think the whole "free labour" part of FOSS fits the "fair wage" requirement though :')

Yeah, honestly the F is the biggest reason I'm not hardline into FOSS. As a socialist I'm well aware of the benefits of decommodification, and I strongly believe in open sourcing software, but we live in a capitalist world and people are often stingy with donations. It's part of the reason why I wouldn't mind a subscription fee for using my instance, paying my admin enough to keep the server on and to compensate them for the labor they do feels reasonable to me.
