That used to be called alienation, no?
Is there a reason not to call it that anymore? I guess there may
well be - but I wonder if that reason still has anything to do
with wanting to cure what in oneself or in ourselves doesn't
work, to the point of wanting to simulate work in one's free time
and call it play?
