    What could change to allow creative control to go back to directors and not marketing teams? Also, how do we avoid a celebrity game director becoming a David Cage style fucknut?

      If the companies were coops none of these issues would exist. They would be focused on making good games. The Japanese companies operate differently because they still have a collective culture and a different workplace culture to the west's individualist hyper-capitalist culture.

      If they were all coops the employees would decide on a more balanced priority between profit and good games. They wouldn't prioritise profit where it damages gameplay because the vast majority of employees want to make good games not just money.
