So philosophers have known they're (we're) full of shit for around 2000 years at least. Has the philosophy since been just a game?

I doubt people would do philosophy if they didn't find it enjoyable. Is there any historical examples of philosopher slaves, a class of people stripped from their rights and forced to think about things deeply in a fear of punishment? Philosophy is an upperclass hobby, with the main function to alleviate boredom. So, basically a game.
