Honestly, this all sounds like a difference in personal taste. You aren't missing anything, Blizzard just took a path that you aren't a fan of. It is disappointing when a franchise you like/see potential in goes a different direction than you'd like, but it happens sometimes.

I mean that's true of any AAA dev company. As long as people continue to buy from them they don't care.

While I don't make games, I do write code. Usually it isn't the devs who are the problem. It's the project managers, sales, and C-suite execs who cause the issues here. Again, my experience. The devs could be shit as well, no idea.

Edit: added grammar

I have no idea if this will work for me, but it sounds like it might. Thanks for sharing.

It might be enough to break it down and find bits and pieces that are interesting to you. Things like why do certain tax laws exist, the history of taxation, potential reasons tax laws are so complex, etc. Maybe there are even some videos on different strategies for filling out boring documents that might help.

I've seen rules being a massive pain point in a few relationships I've been in. A lot of it around metas intentionally ignoring boundaries/cheating on our shared partner.

The longer I've done the polyamorous thing, the more comfortable I've become with just making sure that there is open communication between you and your partner(s) and working through emotions as they arise. However, that's me and my current situation. Definitely what everyone wants and it will likely change in the future.
