What’re y’all’s thoughts in how first money has affected our art? An obvious one in movies needing to be dumped down for mass appeal and also something already familiar ie Marvel, Star Wars, and any remake or “sequel”/soft reboot that comes out.

In gaming, it’s obvious offender is micro transactions. Can’t afford ballooning budgets? Just throw some gambling elements in there to tempt children! Also, games in particular suffer from being unfinished and the preorder hype cycle is essentially part of the budget ie Cyberpunk 2077.
