Stardew Valley lets me feel like that I have a satisfying job, when real corporations would abuse and discard me at their convenience. It is quite the power fantasy, being a productive member of humanity without having to sacrifice myself.
Tbf you sell stuff via the box which is presumably skimmed for some amount of profit (same in most games in the genre) so it’s not quite a socialist utopia. Some of them are damn close though.

Receive the full value of your labor? It’s absolutely criminal.

Unless you started with enough capital to also receive the full value of other people’s labor.
