I'll do a proper response when I got time, but the quick response was about lack of firemen in DE:HR (from memory I admit) since you took it up, rather then the general genre.
Eh no. Her narrative, that she does take time to explain is more or less that people are encouraged to explore/exploit the game. Basically, if something is possible in the game, it's encouraged by the producers to the players to do it, even if most people don't. To reverse the point, what is the point of having even the possibility to do this in the game? Does it add something important? (apparently no, it's quite possible it is to satisfy "that" producer guy). Then why have the possibility? To have the freedom to be the guy Sarkeesian describes?
You can disagree with this construction, but she doesn't lie. Which are an example on the nature of the criticism. Its base assumption is that she lies, rather than being consistent with a position you might disagree with.
