Modern AAA western dev is one big jobs program for women, minorities, and leftist activists. The purpose of these dev studios is to generate salaries and benefits for useless eaters and political agents who contribute no value to the product or the company. The longer a game takes to develop, the better it is for the employees. They have no incentive to make good games in a timely manner because the "consequences horizon" is almost a fucking decade.

And because HR departments control who gets hired and fired, it's a jobs program only for leftists and their pets.
