Worst part imo is that it results in nothing but soulless, design-by-committee pap; incapable of even approaching “artistic expression”. The second worst part is that because demons are incapable of creation, the only place they can direct their vast wealth is to acquiring beloved IPs and hollowing them out into skinsuits
