There are multiple sources referenced to weave a new commentary about the relationship between video games and labor for both players and creators 🤷.
Comment on All Work and No Play (how video games imitate labor)

What the heck is that article? It’s a glorified book report, and it just rambles on and on, presenting points from a book the article author presumably read. Why would I read the article author’s (very lengthy) opinions about a book, when I can just read the original source?
No wonder it’s so long, since he’s just summarizing the points from the book. This article needed an editor.

The article is fairly short? or am I missing something
Firefox reader mode tells me 22 – 27 minutes

No, that’s not a short read for what amounts to “work conditions bad, art imitates life.” What they said could have been said with a lot less.
Perhaps I just don’t like their writing style, but it reads more like a high school book report to me than a succinct article.
