Either way it doesn't sound like there are enough details to know exactly what they mean.

"Know?" Maybe not. "Infer?" Absolutely. 10AM-6PM is in the range that normal office workers are at their desks, so it stands to reason they are asking their office workers to be in a warehouse instead of at their desks. It's not exactly a giant leap to conclude such.

Congratulations. You're the reason pests creep into other people's homes or invasive weeds overrun people's properties by forcing out native plants.

If you don't care about your lawn then move to the desert where you don't have to worry about such things. There are those who want a nice green lawn or lots of flowers for pollenators.

I think they expected that since they had paid to purchase the game, they would be able to play that game for as long as they cared to, i.e. same as the deal you get when you purchase a book or a DVD.

You can argue that they were wrong to expect that, but that's the usual way of thinking about items that you buy, so that's what people (who haven't yet thought through the implications of software shrink-wrap licensing agreements) naturally expect.

If being able to play the game perpetually isn't a viable business model, then perhaps the publisher should be required to specify up-front how long (at minimum) they will guarantee purchasers access to the game; that way nobody will be surprised when their access goes away, because they understood the time-limit on what they were purchasing before they made the purchase.

... and in 2020 it was "anyone but Trump", as it will be again in 2028, assuming we still have elections then.

Step back a bit, and you realize the real voting pattern is "anyone but the incumbent", because the system has deteriorated to the point where problems don't get solved anymore, so voters are just blindly switching back and forth from one party to the other in the hopes that doing that will somehow lead to improvement. American Democracy has devolved into the world's most elaborate ring oscillator.
