I also care about the people developing them when they’re a small business making exceptional quality, such as Flow Fire Games. But I can’t be fucked about Ubisoft’s 300-strong team in 5 countries producing shitty assets for a perfunctory openworld serving CEO’s monetization wet dreams. I don’t even have to get into Dunbar rationalizations, they destroyed the franchises I enjoyed, now I get to enjoy some schadenfreude.
