I've never heard about this drama, but I also intentionally didn't follow the game too closely so I can go into it relatively blind. This sounds strange to me, though.
As far as I'm concerned, there are many ways to play video games, and many ways to play D&D, and none of them are "wrong" (as long as they don't harm real life people in some way). If you want to minmax then go for it, that is a valid way to play.
As a "Johnny" in the MtG sense I like to play broken/unintuitive/combo type characters. Not necessarily minmaxing, since it's not just about efficiency, but...efficient creativity. So I'm looking for a build that's "fun" in an unusual way, viable, but not necessarily "optimal".
I'm not after extreme optimization either. I simply need to have enough of bases covered to not risk sudden death and a lot of content blocked because of "CHA test, failed" and such.
I never treat cRPG characters like I treat my ttRPG ones - the latter are meant to become protagonists of interesting stories. The former are keys to unlock as much of in-game possibilities as possible and assure the longevity of the gameplay until the end of the game.
