It's still kind of an issue of their own making though. Their metric for acceptable viewing numbers is ever changing. And they tend to pick and choose what counts as a view as well.
So if you don't watch it in their time frame and/or on whatever platform they extrapolate view counts from then you basically didn't watch the show to them.
if one show does really well, now all those other shows are expected to reach around the same number without taking into consideration all the circumstances.
Maybe if they were gonna go back and fix the last season or so (and especially that ending) I'd want to see them dick around some more in the past, but I'm with you.
Its been a while so I could be misremembering, but it seemed like they stopped the show Defiance in favor of the game. Like I think the game came out during or right before the last season.
People don't really remember what happened with the nazis. Most of the people who actually lived that past are dead now.
And the vast mojority of people lack enough empathy/understanding to be able to 'walk a mile in their shoes' as it were and extrapolate the horrors from the most readily available histories.

Same to subtitles when focusing on visuals.
Anime isn't as bad to watched subbed because it's usually shorter form and 'simpler' visually than live action - Just compare a visually dark scene from live action and animated as a quick and dirty example.
Not trying to justify her or anything, but companies do love to abuse shit.
Yes, being expected to occasionally work overtime is a reasonable expectation.
However, most companies will just keep doing it. Im sorry, if I have to work overtime almost every single shift for more than 2 weeks - that is not reasonable. (And that shit happens even with unions)
One more step towards the great firewall.
