The organizers of Japan's Tokyo Game Dungeon have been going to great lengths to spread awareness about what they call "sekkyo ojisan."

They don't want advices? Yeah, who cares what those pesky customers think? What could they possibly know about games? They obviously are not gamedesigners. They are too dumb to appreciate our genius, our precious QTEs, lootboxes, huge empty open-world "worlds", deep ersatz-philosophical dialogs or a huge variety of fetch-quests! Let alone our eye-bleeding special-effects glimmering palette of red, pink and gold!

Tokyo Game Dungeon is for indie games, not a big industry event where marketing people are advertising the latest AAA live service trash stuffed to the brim with exploitative monetization and all the other things you are describing.

oh look, an unsolicited advice dude! who didn’t even read the fucking post, how typical.

"remake your whole fucking game because i don’t like it" is, in fact, unsolicited advice actually!

You've clearly never seen player's proposed fixes to games before.

They're very good at finding the best way to remove all the fun from it.
