People who complain that “games aren’t respecting their time” also seem totally incomprehensible to me. The purpose of games is pretty much entirely time consumption, wasting time to have fun.

If you aren’t having fun that’s a bad game, play a different game. But all games “waste” our time, even the best ones ever made, they are just fun while doing so.

So stop complaining “this game doesn’t respect my time” and instead maybe look to see if a different game or genre might be better for you. If you don’t find exploration fun, don’t play an adventure open-world game! If you don’t find grinding fun, don’t play an MMORPG. Stop demanding circle games get shoved into square holes in order to appease you, just go play the Square Game
