Its EA... they're idiots. Too many MBAs thinking they can make the next multi-billion dollar moonshot game without thinking about what matters. Also they're addicted to subscription revenue models.

I think a huge part of the problem in the North American game industry is that the execs and MBAs you mention still seem to have a mentality that games are for gross dorky losers

It's really weird how much the game industry seems to despise their audience

its an endemic behavior when you recruit MBAs that are not growing from within the company. not limited to gaming at all.
