On the Triple Exploitation of"Game Labor"by Platform Capitalism
The online game industry based on the collusion of Internet technology and platform capital has changed the form of labor and organization,and the form of capital and its absorption form have a new configuration.Game labor,as the driving force for the growth of capital economy on gaming platforms,has reshaped the forms of labor and organization,and configured new forms of capital and absorption.The connection between digital technology and game capital has led to the alienation of human labor in the development of platform economy,resulting in a situation where the more people resist capital,the more deeply they are trapped in capital in response to each other,people and platforms,people and capital.Therefore,only by studying the different forms of game labor on different platforms,elaborating on the operational forms of it,and analyzing the alienation and exploitation of it under the control of platform capital,can we uncover the deep infiltration and invasion of game capital logic on the daily life,emotional and social life,and ideology of game workers.At the same time,by criticizing and reflecting on the capital exploitation of online gaming platforms,game companion platforms,and game live streaming platforms in a progressive way,it is revealed that game workers gradually lose their entertainment experience,suffer emotional alienation,and receive the domestication mentally and physically,ultimately being deprived of the true spirit of freedom in games.The process of life is also forced to transform into a mechanical process,which is fully alienated and exploited in the abstract machine device of the platform capital loop.
