That sounds Abserd.

A musk concentrator as some call it

eh, i didn't get to choose though. it just matches my inner me.

I work in gaming, and I can say with some confidence that, at least at the big publishers, it doesn't actually work this way. The C-suite, in particular, isn't talking to developers at all, and aren't making decisions about products beyond which IPs that they have in their catalogue that they want to put a bunch of money into. Where the problem is is in the marketing and editorial departments. Most of the big publishers have a department whose job it is is to assess whether unannounced games in development have a viable market, and how to better appeal to that market. The problem is, the people in those deparments don't use anything but what's trending *right now* to determine this, and so you get studios being told that their current game a) should be shoehorned into franchise X or Y, and b) should adopt this mechanic, tone, or aesthetic that doesn't really fit with the core idea, amd that will be dated by the time the game launches in 2 years. These are deeply conservative, risk-averse departments, and they gatekeep all of the major development and launch milestones.

Oh man I was hoping they’d hit the 2025 release date.

@bitprophet In a real world version POTUS would immediately order nuclear retaliation against blue cities and thank the North Koreans for solving the Chicago crime problem.
