Half of them are in it because they had a fascination with it growing up and now they can't do anything else, and the other half are in it explicitly to push leftist politics onto kids.

There's no fucking way every studio is staffed by amazing devs being stifled by their bosses. I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but no way in hell is that really all of the shit that goes on with fucked up games today.

Like you're telling me Call of Duty still makes new campaigns, but you can't do it from the same Company? IDK.

Ken Levine is a great example too, his game was in development hell for ages because unlike Bioshock his developer never went to him and said "okay you have this many months to get the game out the door".
BioShock Infinite was a good example, he said once there was enough content scrapped from that game for multiple games and the infamous Crowbcat video is proof:
