People tend to chase trends because it is selling like hot cakes and therefore deemed safe. Everyone wants a piece. Executives feel the same. However, only very few realise that the market become over-saturated as it becomes more competitive because of tunnel vision towards digging any potential profits that may or may not be there.

Unrelated to the meme but I have that same monitor in the image. Pretty good monitor.

Because they want to chase that annual recurring revenue stream. Make game once - make money forever. What these executives don’t realize is how hard it is to make such game. They seem to believe if they throw just enough money at it, a profitable game will come out.

Those execs are only concerned with turning the quickest profit so they can move to another company with another hiring bonus

Dont forget the golden parachute they get when they piss off the consumer base with several $60 games that turn out to be incomplete garbage and get themselves fired.
