So Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing and other games of that ilk are "sweatshops" as well? Resource management under the guise of providing mammet's with directions does not make it a sweatshop.

The term does not apply, unless you consider the day-to-day management of every single corporation in the world, every mom-and-pop shop, every place where you work for money as a "sweatshop".

I get that some portion of the playerbase is unhappy with the way the island sanctuary functions. I am personally not unhappy because I understood from the beginning what it was. I played through the entire Warlords of Draenor expansion doing pretty similar things with the Garrison including placing buildings in specific spots and managing crops and other resources.
