I keep noticing this trend here that "devs don't owe the players anything", this notion that unless something is owed, it won't be provided. I can only partially agree with that.
A gas station employee doesn't owe you an answer if you ask for advice on which wipers to buy, but they'll provide that advice anyway.
A store clerk (or owner) doesn't owe you a happy smile, a thank you and maybe even help packing all the groceris, but most would do it anyway.
Even right here, an admin doesn't owe you an explanation on why you were banned for shouting gamer words in medbay, you broke a rule so they could just ban you, leave it at that, enjoy the perma.
The difference is between being a robot that doesn't engage with fellow people and a fun, engaging person that loves what they do and loves communicating with people.
Sure, is it fine to not "go the extra mile" and only provide the bare minimum? Sure, it's fine. But I know what I'd rather prefer.
