Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.
I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.
Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

Had a dream I was participating in a reality TV competition and had to write a song about mpreg. Wrote a song called "Boys can get pregnant."

It really sucks to be part of an industry where no matter how much money the company makes, you can still lose your job because your game wasn't profitable enough, whatever that even means.

I've said it before, but "filler" originally described a specific phenomenon in anime adapted from manga: episodes and arcs created to "fill time" so the manga stayed ahead of the anime.
That meaning has been mutated now to mean anything that doesn't explicitly further the plot.
Which sucks.

Stop calling TV episodes filler. Shows don’t need to be constantly “forwarding the plot.” Let the Emissary take a week off from the Dominion War so he can teach the crew how to play baseball. Trust me, you’ll love it.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?
