I'd toss .hack//IMOQ into the mix, such a grindy game and borderline impossible if you don't over-level yourself, several allies, and your gear

Because it's everywhere and I'm tired of people trying to make me try it.
The Slop Sketch (with apologies to Monty Python)
Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter.
Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.
Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right.
Man (to Waitress): Morning!
Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!
Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and slop; egg bacon and slop; egg bacon sausage and slop; slop bacon sausage and slop; slop egg slop slop bacon and slop; slop sausage slop slop bacon slop tomato and slop;
Vikings (starting to chant): Slop slop slop slop...
Waitress: ...slop slop slop egg and slop; slop slop slop slop slop slop baked beans slop slop slop...
Vikings (singing): Lovely slop! Lovely slop!
Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce served in a Provençale manner with shallots and aubergines, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and slop.
Wife: Have you got anything without slop?
Waitress: Well, there's slop egg sausage and slop, that's not got much slop in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY slop!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon slop and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got slop in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much slop in it as slop egg sausage and slop, has it?
Vikings: Slop slop slop slop (crescendo through next few lines)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon slop and sausage without the slop then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh'? I don't like slop!
Vikings: Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!
Waitress: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!
Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon slop and sausage without the slop.
Wife (shrieks): I don't like slop!
Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your slop. I love it. I'm having slop slop slop slop slop slop slop baked beans slop slop slop and slop!
Vikings (singing): Slop slop slop slop. Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!
Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man: Well could I have her slop instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress: You mean slop slop slop slop slop slop... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings: (singing elaborately) Slop slop slop slop. Lovely slop! Wonderful slop! Slop slo-o-o-o-o-op slop slo-o-o-o-o-op slop. Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Slop, slop, slop, SLOOOOOOOOOOOP!
I never claimed anything of the sort.
I stated that the fossil fuel companies are breathtakingly rich and willing to share that wealth with politicians in return for policy decisions that favour fossil fuel companies.
You stated that I was completely wrong.
You now appear to be shifting the goalposts as if you claimed I am merely missing the point as opposed to being completely wrong, so I'm done here. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)
I mean, I kinda like both? Supermarkets for resiliency and the benefits of scale. Markets for the kind of stuff you probably wouldn't find in a supermarket and the benefits of a broader marketplace.
Completely wrong? Let me test my understanding. You're claiming that fossil fuel companies are not breathtakingly rich and willing to share that wealth with politicians in return for policy decisions that favour fossil fuel companies?
Only insofar as instance mods are already "centralised control of the Fediverse".
Because the fossil fuel companies are breathtakingly rich and willing to share that wealth with politicians in return for policy decisions that favour fossil fuel companies.

Heroic is what I use, but in the interest of adding alternatives, another GUI way to do this is to use Bottles. Create a bottle for the game, and in that bottle click Run Executable, then run the base game installer, then repeat for each DLC. It'll even give you a shortcut.
I've worked for the same company for about twenty years. I'm still rank and file because I've repeatedly turned down supervisory roles. Like in your situation, the pay for the more stressful job isn't much better and comes with a lot more responsibility.
Instead, I negotiated to get myself off the rota system and onto fixed hours. I am the only member of staff outside of upper management who's on fixed hours. Literally everyone else works shifts. Middle management don't like that, but I consistently perform well on whatever plausible metrics they dream up, I'm generally well-liked, also they can't get rid of me because I know where the bodies are buried*.
In summary: I believe you've made the right choice, because I made a similar one. But it's not my choice. The choice is yours alone.
*this is a metaphor for institutional knowledge, as far as I know there are no bodies buried in the old trolley shed behind the Inpost locker
NFCs, bitcoins, silver, gold, whatever. If the only way people can cash out is to get someone to buy what they're selling, there's always going to be an element of grift to it. It's just some are more grifty than others.
