Would it be better if in an alternate universe vidya publishers

I'd say games would have more heart and vision but would ultimately fall flat on promises and be unfinished, but a lot of games in recent years have been both of those things with suits at their head. For all the shit people give to Peter Molyneux he has a lot of unrealistic vision but damn it he tries

Business men are the people who keep things in order (except in the west).
When Kojewma and Keiji Inafune were working under a executive rule they made good games

What? Obviously you'd need the suits because ''creative types'' fuck everything up if they don't have a boss that actually guides them along.

Also that Platinum hack that is bald (he made Bayomeme) I forgot his name. After he opened that shit company everything went downhill. He should have stayed working at Capcom
I think it's Kamyia or Kamiya his name

I say a necessary evil. Would I like the head of a company to be a down to earth man who I could call up on the weekend and drink with? Yes, but at the same time, if I were to work with a guy like that I know that he would not be too reliable in a pinch/ would not be able to handle the duties of a boss.

You need them both. In an ideal world, the suits keep the devs from straying too far from the goal so the product is delivered on time and at the expected quality. The devs push the envelope and try to get away with as much as possible and try to push the suits' demands.
If you let the creative types have control the game ends up in development hell and you end up with a ton of unrealized ideas that just tease the player.
If you only the suits have their way, we would have nothing but micro transaction, mass-produced phone games because the graphs say that's where the profits are.
Every great game that has ever been released was a combination of a good creative team and a competent producer.

>tfw creative types are just retarded with money and that was proved over and over again by well intentioned crowdfunding projects

like what? platinum works under large publishers anyway and they are know to do a lot with microscopic budgets
they are pretty much the opposite of "idea guys with money" we are talking here

There is no such thing as creative genius
They should be treated as slave workers.
When ''artists'' receive freedom they do degenerate thing
Kurt Cobain was a semi-degenerate when he needed money so he made good music. Once he got rich his artistic freedom produced degeneracy
Same with every other musician
This applies to these hacks as well. Neil (((Druckmann))) is another example of a hack who was not total degenerate when he needed to prove himself worth

Platinum is the worst japanese company at the moment
I'm not saying this to get (yous). I buy games from CH (Idea Factory) and I find them better polished and more fun to play (like you would play SNES classic titles) than the 16 hour cinematic trash 2 hour gameplay they produce
And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? the very definition of shovelware. I've played free to play chinese games better than that.

Another example: the guy behind Shadow of the Colossus. Once he thought he was a genius and an artist he left capcom to produce mobile shovelware
Since 2006 he made nothing but garbage and blogposting.
These hacks need to be under executive rule or they are nothing but Mighty No.9 reproducers

if you ask me, you should have a game demo that plays for at least 20 mins if you want to crowdfund a video game of any sort on kickstarter or indiegogo
