Judging by the fact that dunkey hates reading long lines of dialogue and admits to not understanding rpg games, I doubt the man has enough of an attention span to even read legal documents for publishing
He played and enjoyed story-driven games like RDR, TLOU, Death Stranding, Yakuza and many more just fine. His problem was always about the anime tropes in the vast majority of JRPGs that doesn't suit his sensibilities and slow-paced, repetitive turn-based combat - he still enjoy turn-based stuff when it is fun like Persona 5 and Into the Breach for example :shrug-outta-hecks:
He never really states it but he seems to hate the fanservice and objectification common in JRPGs, like I think that was the primary reason why he hates Xenoblade.
Which is cool honestly.
People got the impression he liked Xenoblade 3 considering he clearly beat it, and that game dials back really hard on the anime tropes 2 had (and 1 lacked), so yeah I think thats it.
He says this pretty explicitly in his Xenoblade 2 review
