As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations

      Ok good. So capital is required for capex and opex.

      As you start with 0 sales you need to get capital from investors to fund you until sales >1

        Yes, that is how it works under capitalism.

        Under socialism however, the state funds labor based on needs and/or desires for the output of that labor (the commodity). In this case, the money isn’t used for the goal of making more money, therefore, this isn’t capital at all. And yet, the labor happens and the commodity created. Therefore, the production is independent of the capital.
