So hundreds, if not thousands or even hundreds of thousands should
have their enjoyment of the game (and enjoyment is the intended
purpose of the game's existence) so you can "feel grateful"?

In my opinion, those who think games should create such memorials
are being very selfish. They are putting their personal feelings
ahead of the purpose of the game and the enjoyment of the masses who
play there.
