Yes, but you choose to work for a company. Don’t pretend that’s the same as the government of the country you happen to be born in taking ownership of your creations. In a capitalist country, had Alexey Pajitnov chosen to develop the game himself, he would have made much more from it. If he had done that in the USSR, he’d still have his creation and all its monetary proceeds taken away from him.

Under capitalism your choice is to sell yourself or become destitute. That’s not really a choice, it’s just indirect coercion.

Not going to waste my time with someone who has such absolutist views untethered to reality.
