“The only way to convince executives to release the money to greenlight productions is to do movie-like productions that impress them. That’s honestly why this stuff happens.”
This truly terrifies me but it does make the cinematic game trend we are seeing make more sense. I posit this is why we don't see as much AA, A, B, stuff making it to shelves now. Those kinds of games don't impress executives.
I also say I have to agree with his priorities and getting more bang out of your buck by making less expensive games. Though with cinematic games still making money hand over fist in today's climate I can see why other larger studios and publishers who can afford it take that risk.
