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

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

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.
