Why do companies do these kinds of things? I honestly do not entirely get it. Do they not have a near infinite number of examples of company ****ery ruining countless games that might otherwise have been solid? I know the bean counters probably just can't grasp the idea that their business degree is not relevant to making a game, but you'd think they'd learn from the sheer abundance of catastrophes to leave well enough alone.
