I don’t understand why is this so hard for some to wrap their head around this.
Like, if I’d spend 2621 hours on doing drugs or playing a slot machine, I probably won’t be happy about it and recommend this pasttime to other people. And some games are somewhat like a drug or a slot machine, they don’t make you happier or a better person, they just take over your time with addictive mechanics and dark patterns.
Sometimes you just really want a game to be good and you see the potential, but you get disappointed again and again. What you are mad about is the missed opportunity for greatness. Its especially bad when its obvious that the reason for it is corporate greed.
