Do I really need to grind 2-5 hours in 2-4 games each week to "enjoy" them? No. But to get some content I want, I have to. Why? What happened to having stuff be given out for free and letting people have FUN with the product they paid for?

I mean, I get it: HAHA CAPITALISM GOES KA-CHING but come on developers?

    All grind in video games is lazy fucking dogshit that preys on our need for rote distraction from hellworld and has ruined most of gaming.

    (it made sense years and years ago when games couldn't even be that big, so to make a long RPG or something, grind made sense to flesh out the game world. but now that games can be absolutely fucking enormous, grind is just a leftover imprint from early game development that now manipulatively gets us addicted to mind-numbing game loops and gets us spending more money with hardly any creativity involved)
