Moreover, like Hollywood, the gaming industry is largely run by people who truly do not understand the thing they're there to make. All of the C-levels still think it's the early 2000s where you could shit out anything that looked like a popular game and make 20 billion dollars from it. They think their entire market is dumb kids who will mindlessly play whatever is put in front of them without regard to polish, story, or even playability.

    And the market proves it's true.

    How in the hell is EA still not dead?

    Many studios produce barely acceptable shit, yet people buy it in droves.

    EA is a publisher that goes against that, bad publisher to use as an example

    I don't know what you mean.

    Every sports game is barely an asset flip, sometimes even with wrong years.

    Most recently Split Fiction would be an example of not trend chasing

    Unraveled, Fe, the rest of Hazelight’s games, Knockout city

    The Sims and the sports games also aren’t trend chasing
