You really went with Gold and Edicts as an Example? Isn't that the perfect example of "This is a Porn Game, I just don't want to deal with managing the Prison"? So I at least disagree completly with the example you provided here.
No, it's more of a, I enjoy the gameplay but I don't want to grind and spend hours just to gain a little of something.
If it was what you described, it would be, let me just google a 100% save so I can jump straight into all the sex scenes.
Again are parts of the Game tedious or annoying? Sure. Is some information without reason hidden? Sure.
Actually, a lot of information are hidden but you're heavily downplaying it.
Again, it doesn't support anything. The far majority never asks about anything. They download it, play it and move on.
Yeah, maybe because they can use the search function to look for the cheats or saves they want unlike some other people?
If somebody says something that is not correct, how is that my opinion? If I am telling you as an extreme example: "Hey you need to fight in the bar from the very start!" Would you not say that this is just wrong to do so?
Since you added that right after "cheats does not equal something", I thought you were referring it to that part of OP's point as "wrong".
So that is the same reason why, when somebody says, when you fight Thugs on the first floor early, then I am going to point out that is just wrong to do so, since you can avoid them easy until you are Level 12.
Yeah but that's not an information that is clearly known by the player from the start, just like you're not aware that it's a trap to go all round build. You get to know about certain facts of the game through a lot of experience and some others only by digging through game files. So, you can't really blame them for that.
Also, they said "beating them in a fight was mathematically impossible at that point", they said at that point of the game, so no, they're not really wrong as they never claimed you're forced to fight or lose but that you can't beat them at start.
