The talent drain is a direct result of diversity hiring mandates, imo, so I think it’s still the fault of woke in the end. If I were a talented and skilled straight white male dev, I can’t imagine working for a AAA studio where I’m expected to carry the load while simultaneously being public enemy number one. All that for crap pay and no job security? No wonder indie and AA are dominating.
