Or at EA, or Ubisoft

EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?

Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.

Looks like money spoils people.

Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.

Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.
