It blows my fucking mind how badly companies mismanage good video game IP.
Either they absolutely saturate the market as fast as they can to the point where any game is just a grain of sand shifting and swirling as the waves of quarterly releases wash against the shore (Call of Duty)
Or they make a good game, but then spend either DECADES milking them (Elder Scrolls, GTA) or they just wait so long that it eventually falls of the cultural radar and the moment to strike is long past (Half Life, Portal)
Like, let creative people do creative things. Let people who are good at making games make games. No your MBA doesn't mean you should be directing creative decisions.
I'd prefer the second option tbh, and let them come up with new stuff and IP. Sure, Starfield is a mediocre bland game, but at least they're trying something new instead of keep making sequel after sequel. At least they're not destined to create only one thing(343 Industry)
