In case you missed it, friend of the Retreat Jon Mollison is back and he ain't mincing words.

His blog is also showing this pivot.
You miss gems like this if you don't read him.
When the GM’s whim overrides the written rules, the rules stop being a system to engage with and become a set of suggestions that might matter or might not, depending on the GM’s mood. Players learn quickly that deep understanding is wasted effort. Why study the mechanics when the GM can nullify them with a shrug? Why plan a clever strategy when the GM can “adjust” the encounter on the fly? Why worry about how the dice land when the GM can override them at any time? Why question inconsistencies when the answer is always the same: “Because I said so.”
Get your shit in order. Then your game will stop sucking.
