I saw a game the other day called "Job Simulator" and couldn't help but get a giggle out of that. Also, I recall that people on MMO's would grind for hours for in game currency to buy a fake thing and the old response to that way that they could literally go and do any job for minimum wage and increase their output per hour if they were to simply buy the in game currency with real life money

It would be one thing if what they were doing in-game was fun, but even they admit it is not fun and I always found the process to be a bit dubious.

That being said I have in the past grinded for hours upon hours for levels in a game that I eventually kind of had massive regrets for sinking so much time into later in life... So I'm not innocent by any means!
