You compared actual employees in an real company, doing real paid work to people playing this game like both groups share any similarities, to try and prove a point, and i'm "building strawman"?
That's funny. Also, since you dodged what is an easy answer, I assume you dont have one.
I wonder if you actually played Dreams. When you start the main game Media Molecule made for it (Art's Dream), it starts right off by saying that it was made with the Dreams tools and that it's meant to be an example of what can be made with it. Media Molecule made it as clear as they possibly could have to everyone who plays their game and they used Dreams to make it. The same tools that were used for everyone else's creations.
But yeah, sure, people who use those tools are just playing video games. Keep on making that bad faith argument while at the same time downplaying what Dreams actually is.
Though it doesn't seem like you actually care, if you actually want an example of how creators could be compensated: look at Minecraft. It actually has a marketplace where creators can sell skins, worlds, and mini games that they made. Even Roblox has something similar.
Alternatively, it'd be feasible for creators to have a tip jar where people could choose to give them money. Or for models and music and such to be exported to PC so they can be used there.
