Gamers see an inventory screen and lose it?

I guess I understand why one would have a negative reaction to damage numbers popping up on the screen, it's visual clutter. But also those can be helpful to understand how different builds work in-game.

I haven't played many games that came out in the last few years, can someone help me understand? I want to understand the psychology of the :soypoint-2: .

    2. it's a gateway for introducing micro transactions

    3. having to fiddle constantly with equipment to optimize is just a chore
