The dissatisfaction is in regards to the imperative that you use all forms of tech in all aspects of your life. It is with the fact that all tech is designed around making money, not improving life. If your video games were designed around bringing joy and entertainment, then you would probably like them even more, and get more benefit from them. Instead there are loot boxes and gambling in nearly all large games.
Luckily some games are still made for fun. And some gambling games were fun before they were monetized, and still are in spite of it.
I have never played loot box / gambling / gacha games. I will admit that I have given in and I do play games with DRMs, which are most games these days.
I agree that games shouldn't have those ant-user elements, but since I don't play them, why should I tell other people what they can and can't do?
