Same. Be cool if there was some kind of "ethically made, fair hours and wages for workers" 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.
