It's gotta be a nightmare working at ~~Bioware~~ any AAA developer. A bunch of ghouls making you start from scratch because of whatever trends reach them.

This, and games have longer and longer development times. It's like any mismanagement and lack of confidence will turn your project into a Duke Nukem Forever - a bizarre busted cross-section of the trends that occurred during whichever 5 years your development cycle took place in.

Not even just games either. I still think of the trainwreck that was the Disney Star Wars sequel series.

All of the course correction, changes in production and writing, and the lack of any plans just blows my mind. To have this money making machine, Disney's budget and resources, and that's what we got.

And it's because of trend chasing and focus groups that don't give any meaningful information. It's just trying to get a return on investment.

Like yeah the movies got money, but nobody saw the trilogy as perfect, let alone comparable to the other trilogies.

100%, and it's why the superhero movies always look like trash. Those poor VFX workers getting pushed to change everything at the last minute and not have the best thing they can produce at the end of it.
