"and these... Pocket monsters... They are not compensated for their labor?"
There is a spin off series on youtube called Salary monsters in which they are "compensated" (excessively exploited). It is sort of a mockery of black companies.
"Dear Freddy Engels,
My most generous friend, I know I have already written you this month asking for assistance with rent and payment for necessities, however I have just been informed that Mario Kart World will be priced at $80. My pen has been fast at work since receiving this news, but in the meanwhile if we are to meet once again upon that most colorful of roads, I will need to be the benefactor of your generosity once more.
Forever your comrade, Karl Marx
P.S. I have also received word that the camera for the Switch 2 has increased in price to $55. Please factor this in to the amount you send."
"what the fuck is nintendo"
you know the playing card company that was founded 6 years after you died
EDIT: I am now realising there's a comment in this thread making the same joke, AND a thread about it lol
He'd need context: How many bolts of linen can you get for $80 these days
Herr Marx, for the price of a bolt of linen you cannot get both Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. The worker in their immiseration must choose between their friends or their individualistic pleasure. And worse, collectively all the workers must buy a $450 Switch 2 and $80 Mario Kart World to challenge their idiotification. There is no Mario Kart World held in common, nor split screen with four controllers like the workers enjoyed just 30 years prior. In one generation the workers have been alienated from the means of Mario Kart.
nah marx is a gamer. he knows.
He’d be asking about Coke prices.
probably call me a wierd slur idk
i wonder what kinda slur theyd come up with for a big red dog
"Interesting. And how much did you say it costs to run Deltarune on that secondhand thinkpad of yours? Interesting (scribbles notes). Now, what if one were to play pokemon using an emulator?"
"Wovon zum Teufel redest du? Was ist ein Nintendo? Warum habt ihr den Kommunismus noch nicht etabliert?"
"The fuck is a Nintendo?" - Karl Marx, probably
Tragically Marx passed 6 years too early to know what a Nintendo is 
Imagine what marx would say if he was getting his shi slorped wonky style
He'd ask you about Persona 6
"What the fuck is a video gam??"
We've established that Marx would have been a poster, but would he have been a gamer? (I'm thinking not)
Was zum Teufel ist ein Nintendo? Ich kenne dieses seltsame neue Produkt nicht, aber ich finde es interessant, dass diese kleine Karte einen Tauschwert von 1000 Metern Leinen hat.
