    It’s the same in every industry. Rich shit bags move in and buy successful entities but have no idea how to run them. They slowly get shittier, so good employees move on and do their own thing.

    There’s still amazing games being made, there’s just a lot more shit games you have to sift though. Follow great game devs, not who they work for.

      Yeah, the industry seems to be changing again. There’s a push towards passion projects and those projects are seeing more success than the big budget games. I think we will either see a new cycle of conglomeration or, hopefully, we will see the executives take a more hands-off approach and let the games make money for them.

      Just because you own a sports team doesn’t mean you should be head coach.
