TBH some of the best art, music and creativity in games comes from small indie studios and developers. Who put creativity and skill into their project. They make it good by actually making it all. Games with a unique style and fun ideas come from small indie studios who need supporting.

Needs: healthcare, utilities, public transport, even a minimal but quality food source. Even to the point of utilitarian but working phones/devices. State ownership where profits are minimal but go back into the state. The services aren’t necessarily free, but are run without massive shareholder payouts.
Wants: upgrades and luxuries. iPhones, treat foods, nice cars, silk bedding and those ridiculous marshmallow shoes everyone loves. Regulated but free market.
