I'm one of the lucky few who actually enjoys my job, but still, if you asked me if I want to go to work or play Animal Crossing, I'm choosing Animal Crossing. Its minigames and exploration isn't really work. People genuinely find it fun. Sure, the capitalist progress is fun too, but it would not be a best seller if you had to provide technical support to people who got locked out of their accounts for 8 hours to earn bells instead of literally picking money off trees. It's a video game. People love to work when it's literally playing a video game yes (see the initial demand for game testers), but most people do not want to work an actual job (see the turnover rate for game testers). I think you would be hard-pressed to find people willing to collect garbage if you didn't pay them well for it. Some things in life are just flat-out not enjoyable but need done, so society needs a method of motivating people to do unfun jobs.
