  If you understand perfectly, you’ve yet to demonstrate this. The ask is to remove superfluous, anti-consumer design elements like always-online connections for single-player games, or shuttering official servers with no mitigation plan for those who wish to play the game after this occurs, and people have asked for changes to these, specific sorts of anti-consumer design choices. Meanwhile, you’re over here big brain posting about “That’s not a design change! Now, turning a 100-player online battle royale game into a single player JRPG, that would be a design change!” It’s no great wonder that you’re being treated as either a troll or an idiot when you’ve manage to misunderstand something so fundamental, while confidently insisting time and again that you alone get it, and everyone is just misguided.

  You can wind up in some pretty weird jobs just by putting in the right terms off your resume into job boards. When I was looking for jobs a few years ago, “bilingual supervisor” on indeed landed me a two year stint as the supervisor for the night shift in a pharmaceutical plant. I managed to get that despite not simply lacking a degree in a relevant field, but a college degree at all (working on it now), but simply because I was masochistic enough use SAP at work for 5 years and apply for another job that needed someone who could make sense of it, and I could speak Spanish.

  If you have a degree, I’m sure there are more options that would open up for you, but you might only find them searching for things in pretty vague terms and seeing if anything pops up as being interesting. The downside is, you’ll probably see a lot of irrelevant stuff, but you also come across some wild stuff. After I got laid off from that job and had sent out applications from normal searching of job boards, I took a look at some less specific searches and came across some weird stuff, like a company that was hiring a production supervisor for their facility making probiotic dog yogurt.
