IIRC you can’t grant the permission if the app doesn’t explicitly declare it in its manifest. I doubt most devs would care unless access to local network is required for app’s functionality on typical user’s setup (e.g. if it’s a companion app for some device).

Companies that make “boring” games are often great workplaces, while those that make bestsellers (such as CD project red, rockstar, etc) are shitholes putting workers through hell and constant crunch.
