Honestly, it's partly on the fans. Not enough people understand to be angry at the investors instead of the developers, who are essentially just scapegoats. Everyone gets fucked in the end except for the CEO and their Board of Directors. The frustration lies in how we remediate this as consumers who don't want to boycott our favorite AAA-title games that get churned out yearly.

And don't even get me started on...

You say that but when Cyberpunk fell flat on its face, everyone immediately called out CDPR corporate specifically for putting investors over developers.

The bigger problem is media blaming devs. The gaming media has always been illegitimate and has to bend the knee to studios so they won’t call out the corporate shitshow.

All this to say: I love coverage by Jason Schreier and James Stephanie Sterling for filling the hole of gaming corporate cynicism that totalbiscuit (rip) left in my heart

Half the problem is one of terms. Some say devs, and they mean everyone in the dev company, from producers to designers to managers to the actual code writers. Some say devs, and they just mean the actual code writers.
