I think it's partly down to all these companies taking on way too much baggage over the past decade, to a point where it has now reached boiling point (also doesn't help that either half of these companies has been playing a mix of follow the leader or play it safe and don't stand out at all) and is now showing the results of being too much to handle (like employees being lecherous, products outright flopping, poor choice of staff, poor choice of software/engine/tools).
It's kinda poetic in a way, because for years we've looked up to some of these companies as those that could do not wrong, but in reality they were just really good at hiding that until recent years, and now they can't hide it at all. Now they're all just another version of Asuka, reaching up to the sky, in vain attempts to staying both relevant and meaningful to the industry.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
