Also, how did capitalism, which enabled their creation, ruin video games?

It's a genuine conundrum imho. 

Yes, free markets gave rise to the original form of video games, and the early arcades can't be argued as not being an experience built to separate people from their quarters. 

And yet, having seen these generations of games pass, I can't shake the feeling of every new game seeming to be trying to find the shortest distance to becoming an actual factual slot machine in every way EXCEPT it can be used by kids AND it won't actually ever pay out real money.

I don't know that I agree with authleft that the latter is an inevitable consequence of all capitalist systems, I mostly just wish we could find a way back to something that feels like the former.
