The four options are not misleading. They are crystal clear and not open to (mis)interpretation. If you disagree, then give me an example of a mud which isn't clearly covered by the four choice solution.

The text area, however, could easily be used for technically true yet misleading information. That is why I was against using the text area on its own. When used in combination with the four options, however, it provides what I consider to be the best compromise.

When looking for a game, I would prefer one in which you cannot purchase in-game benefits. I do not care if you can buy out-of-game benefits such as mugs and t-shirts, nor if you can donate and get nothing in return. Under the four option solution I could click the last two boxes and it would bring up the majority of muds. Under your proposal, I would have to manually go through every listing.

That is not helpful for players. There is absolutely no reason to leave out unambigious search options for things that directly impact the player.
