After the Clair Obscur thing I no longer doubt how easy it is to pull the wool in front of gamers' eyes in that regard. No wonder Geoff obsessively mentioned it as a selling point for all of this questionable AA lineup.

Big corps. "People like it when fewer people make a game as it seems more like a passion project. let's fire more people so the fewer people and secretly higher crunch time people will love this game!" Geoff is such a shill pile of shit cuntwad.

Execs were probably salivating at the marketing potential, Lmfao.

Like you said, they just provided a "justification" for firing hundreds of people, heavily crunching the rest and outsourcing to some poor overworked/underpaid external studio because by Geoff's logic they can now say "It was developed by a small passionate group of developers" and people will cheer without looking too deeply into it.

It'll be used to justify layoffs, push AI taking jobs, and the industry already has a problem with not crediting people and hiding outsourcing.
