I view it as a neutral outgrowth, the logical consequences of the chain's operation. There's nothing to apologize for nor forgiveness to seek from my perspective.
Expressing that something is wrong with the game needs to be accompanied with at least a specific criticism which ought to point at what mechanic or aspect needs to be tweaked or changed, and if nothing is wrong with the game then it's something wrong with the players and if nothing is wrong with either all you should have the need to express is Good Game.
