With some exceptions, we all have a choice in the first-world. Chains can be external and internal. In your example, the chains are mostly internal even if there is some degree of external chains. If you're living in SF and are a game developer, chances are you aren't doing terribly.

As for exploited and poor third-world countries or those who lack citizenship in first-world countries (i.e. undocumented immigrants), I'm inclined to say that is modern slavery. It sometimes literally is slavery, even child slavery.

Here in the first-world, we presently benefit from child slavery and third-world exploitation in the products we consume. It's not uncommon either.

I believe people have to choose differently if they want different. Be the change you seek, that whole jazz.
