I think I will have to disagree somewhat. Difficultly should change how you play, not how long. Needing to Grind better gear is not respecting the players time.
That said there are games I did enjoy the grind, “the world ends with you” is one of them, but that is a case of earning new ways to play in most cases.

Of course it is exaggerated. That is the point of a hyperbolic arguments.
Examining hypothetical edge cases in more detail is a useful tool for defining where the issues lie in a debate.
Would you support/play a game of 100+ devs if key management DID commit war crimes? I’d like to think probably not.
It’s though it is clear from your response that misogyny isn’t a deal-breaker for you for this case, so the question then becomes; how shitty does a single person need to be before it becomes an issue for you then?
Other people drew a line in the sand at misogyny and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact I’d say it is a respectable opinion.
You probably would prefer to just ignore any controversy and just judge the game on its merits alone, and that is fine in its own way too. It is exhausting keeping up with the news and you would be happier and find it easier to just blindly enjoy a game.
But don’t pretend that just because you are ignoring it, doesn’t mean that you aren’t supporting bad practices like misogyny when you do so.
Edit: downvoted for not wanting to pay attention to stupid controversy about video games? Weird…
It’s one thing to live peacefully in ignorance. I get it. it is exhausting keeping track of every shitty thing a company does when it’s so much easier at the end of an exhausting 9-5 shift to avoid news and play your games guilt free without thinking about who it’s hurting.
It’s a completely separate thing to brag that your ignorance somehow makes your way of life superior.
People caring about these issues, and sometimes leading to actions being taken because of that, all makes the gaming industry, or to be hyberbolic; the world a better place.
It’s fine to avoid news on controversy and just blindly enjoy games, but don’t lie to yourself (and others) by pretending that it is a good thing.
Oh, but those Activision scumbags had no issue with this hype boosting MW1 sales right up until the day before the mods planned release date.
It’s one thing shutting down a modders passion project, it’s a complete other level of evil to allow it to proceed right up until release date because it boosted sales for an otherwise dead game.
I hope negative press from this tanks their sales, but we all know it won’t.
Not to mention that a lot of companies pay the minimum price needed for a camera for insurance purposes, as insurance is supposed to cover the damages.
They only need to show that a crime was committed, not who committed it.

I get where you are coming from.
I feel it could pass for a political compass meme if it coloured the backgrounds.
Just as well, because cooking it will give you fire
“I heard the bassist of the famous band Dogstar is actually also a lesser known actor that starred in a few movies”
Also Google their sister company. Company number: 11933362
I don’t think any of these are planets.
Though one interesting thing is that Ligma was actually the name of a company incorporated in England and Wales that provided IT consulting services.
It has the company number: 12243748. Google the company number and see for yourself.

Apathy is worse than the whales.
Let’s do some theoretical scenarios for microtransactions:
-apathy with whales: “we need to ensure a good monetisation model to extract value from the whales, even if the normal players are missing out”
-apathy without whales: “let’s try adding microtransactions to extract more value per player, it won’t hurt our sales!”
-No apathy with whales: “no one is buying our game! And our whales have no one to play with! Are the whales even enough to fund this on its own? We got to undo the microtransactions soon!”
-No apathy no whales: “why did we even add microtransactions! Every business knows that only quality games and good marketing can help sales!”
A little hyberbolic but surely you see my point.
That’s why it’s a nuclear plant instead of a wind turbine /jk
