It's not just different 'cultures' that have different relationships with money, obligation & exchange.
It's a big societal question, imho, that nobody puts much effort into solving, but is a root of much of the political bickering and senses of injustice & entitlement both - because unless people have the same evaluation & understanding of those things, no level of prosperity, of mutual advantage, no trade or gift or level of wealth - relative or objective - will ever be considered fair & reasonable to all except, essentially, by accident. Socialism vs capitalism etc aren't answers to that question in the public arena because they are entirely non-comprehensive - every individual's relative perception of value is essentially allowed to 'evolve' by accident...
That we pretend we are rational creatures with a rational culture is for the most part a joke, but 'w/e.'
Relatively speaking ofc, you are earning money whilst playing Aurora because otherwise you'd likely be spending money on other entertainment, though I suspect your cat & wife's evaluations of that argument might find it lacking.
