Gamers: We want shorter games with worse graphics and faster dev times
Also Gamers: "I'll wait until it's on a steam sale, game devs are greedy"
Also Also gamers: "How can I obsess over sales numbers and player counts every day to validate my interests"

Gamers: I hate micro transactions, they shouldn't exist.
Also gamers: every single game should get regular updates and new content for years after release, without me having to pay for it.
Personally I don't like the predatory microtransactions, but I think extra money for extra content is fine.

Realtalk:
Cornbread should not be sweet! If you want cake, eat cake. Cornbread is a carb-slab meant to be paired with stronger flavors like buttermilk or greens fried in grease.
