That's it. People play video games to have fun, everything else is optional.

You don't have fun playing one faction? Switch to another.

You don't have fun and don't want to switch? That is fine, take a break.

Balance is not your problem, it is dev's problem.

Low pop is not your problem, it is dev's problem.

Somebody tells you that you shouldn't have fun, because they suffered for years?

It is their problem, not yours.
