When wow came out the devs working on the game wanted to got home to play wow. Today you have diablo 4 devs that have no idea how to play the game while someone thought a lets play video is a good idea because she was a fat lesbian.
You can't make a fun game if the ones that are making it don't have passion and have no idea what makes a game fun.
You only have templates and checkboxes. Make good graphics, make sure is inclusive, long cinematics, add an Ubisoft tower, lockpicking minigame, card minigame, fast travel, block or/and dodge mechanics, crafting etc.
Want to know what is worse? Before, in the 90s and early 2000s, we had innocence, optimism and passion. There is no optimism or innocence anymore, everyone is terminally online, everyone is deep in to politics.

The US is so polarized that I doubt there is going to be any unity around another 9-11. If they were to hit NY now I doubt most on the right would care and if they would hit something in Texas I doubt the leftists will care.

The other is campaign funds, they wanted to keep the Biden / Harries campaign money. This seems very very fishy to me.
The third is that at the end of the day it does not matter, politics is so polarized that is all about brand recognition and teams. Vote D so that you belong to the good guys mentality. We are so polarized that there are no center/ undecided voters. All that matters for them is rally the base to vote and print the rest.
What a product manager does can easily be replaced by AI but they are also there to put pressure on devs. AI can't do that.
