To be fair, she feels pretty certain these issues go hand in hand and I’m inclined to believe it’s definitely part of the problem. The full version of her request for advice—which had to be severely cut down due to length—makes that more clear, and also cites several specific examples. I tried to cut her letter down…

I feel like this advice is pretty good for the problem of “my husband plays video games too much” and pretty awful for the writer’s actual problem, which is, “my husband doesn’t want to have sex with me.”

I think it is extremely unlikely that they didnt consider the potential for abuse.

Game developers play online games themselves, they’re not idiots. I’m sure they knew there would be instances of this happening.

Hey people gotta keep themselves entertained and have something to do.

Yeah, they just don’t think about the consequences enough. And players certainly never think much about the consequences when demanding quick fixes or new features.

Well, the real on the other hand is when you don’t give players a tool to abuse they’ll complain that you didn’t give them enough features.

For some reason devs never expect that if you give players a tool they’ll abuse it.
