Really hard to say what caused the creative and quality nose dive in recent years. Too many factors to consider. Publisher meddling, burden of making money for investors, and strange cost cutting choices like shutting down studios that actually made money. Looking at the big picture I still just don't get it. That internet conspiracy theory about the top 1% being so rich that they're all just playing a big game to see who can burn the most money sounds pretty rational right now.
