    Weird people were forced out of the industry over the past decade or more, for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with making games.

      Happens with any industry that gets big, I think. More profits=more suits/vampires coming in and replacing artists/scientists or whoever is more qualified to make key decisions.

      This won’t stop unless infinite wealth hoarding is tackled by governments, if ever.

        Happened even with Boeing. I think it should be illegal for anyone with an MBA to be CEO or CTO of any company. They can be CFO if they want to, but not any role with actual decision power over products.

        You’re not wrong. I still remember the day I picked up a newspaper and saw the headline “video games earn more than movies for the first time ever,” and I immediately knew where the industry was headed. In retrospect, I was 100% correct.

      But then you get those people opening studios like Sandfall and creating masterpieces like Clair Obscura…
