Probably Elden Ring. The nost important thing to remember when you are struggling is that the game gives you a ton of options to tackle many problems: do it in a way that makes sense to you. If that’s magic, go for it. If it’s carrying a bow and arrow to lure enemies, thats also good. Summoning friends? Even more fun!
Idk how it is where you love but in the city mentioned here it would rain a lot too in certain parts of the year and, despite that, the people are happy.
Being a marketplace for other people’s games would probably be classified as a different type of income, specially if steam sells software that’s not games (which it does).
