I think this particularly true in gaming. When I think of '70s arcade culture, when I was 12-13, that's completely gone now.
And what's replaced it is this ultra-capitalism where games workers are routinely expected to overwork to levels that affect their mental and physical health.
The money in the biz has made crunch time and un-finished releases commonplace.
We're a long way from this: https://youtu.be/FHS-Mg0n1BU?si=KW2MkND0xhZ71lLm

Wayback Machine: Pictures of #Starcastle, a #Prog band I was soundman and head of road crew for, back in the 70s. Most of the time I was too busy working to take pictures.
The quality isn't great, it was shot on EIR #film and scanned at a lousy resolution. Need to dig out the slides and re-scan them.
