Live service garbage has costed the industry billions in losses and costed tens of thousands of devs their jobs. Fad chasing in general.
Everyone wants to make the fortnite killer or overwatch killer. They set billions of dollars on fire and get nothing for it. And it’s the devs who pay the price. Not the c-suite dipshits who threw all that money in the fire pit.
I mean, the money does go somewhere. People get paid while the game is being developed. It’s just that the investors don’t get the ROI.

Yes, but then their lives are often uprooted, since the entire existence of their job was based on a bad bet.

speaks as they try to replace everyone with AI except for the management suite.
