Close. It's because of industry connections and nepotism. It's why the problem worsens inside of companies you'd want to appear on your resume, such as Blizzard. It just so happens that the industry became developed and known enough, akin to Hollywood, around the same time the Millenial sons and daughters of business wing of these companies came of age. These companies are now manned by people there because they knew people, or x and y's daughter wanted to work for the famous company Blizzard. It's commodification of a business as a status symbol. I consider Tim Cain the poster child for this type of practice because he hasn't exactly made anything decent since his role on the original Fallouts, but his clout and reputation have done more work to create a brand and myth of his role to the point he's often a nexus of connections and asked for his terrible advice and consultation in the biz.

tl;dr mainstream industry was taken over by connections based business and nepotism instead of passion and creativity, with its own celebrities who are depended on for things they can't actually do, simply because of name and brand.

Close, but no cigar, it's actually because of copyright, consultancy firms and the gradually all-consooming office politics of increasingly consolidated publishers and studios that no one wants to work for unless they have no other choice and therefor no say in what gets made.
The DMCA and associated WIPO treaties were a deathblow to western culture after the prolonged beating of gradually escalating 20th century copyright.
We had one shot of saving culture, but we lost it in the 2003 Eldred v. Ashcroft case that cemented the increasingly corrupt state of copyright up until that point.

Millenial writing isn't the problem.
It's not even a generational thing. Lots of people fuck around on their phones while doing stuff. It just happens.
"Second screen writing" is the bigger issue. Writing, tv and film faggots are purposely dumbing stuff down and making plot points retarded because most people are doomscrolling and fucking around on their phones when watching a tv show or movie.

>>724714448
There is something else to consider, and it's the fact that normalfags can't into good writing, so anything that isn't your regular run of the mill slop tends to get rejected by publishers.
Several bookwriter anons have confirmed that if you don't have the absolute LOWEST common denominator content - good luck getting published.
And generally good writing needs smart people, and smart people are exceedingly rare, and out of those rare smart people few of them even want to bother coming up with something interesting, and out of THOSE few not all of them will even want to publish their ideas.

I mean that's basically what I said yeah, but if you actually look at writer credits for most AAA games you see that they are mid to late Gen X people. Even Neil Druckmann is Gen X, he was born in 1978 which puts him right at the tail end of it.

100% this. You could end up making the new Undertale when you make a side project you work on as a hobby. Or you could be a name in the credits on a 500 person dev team and fired on release. Companies don't train and retain talent anymore. Everything is contractual then they wonder why the talent isn't there for the next project. This is a 2010s thing btw, for decades (and still at Japanese companies) the end of a project meant shuffling people off to the next one

The youngest ones are absolutely fucking ruined, along with Gen Alpha because they don't write or think anymore. AI does everything. Older ones will probably be immensely over reactive to what they perceive as bad things millennials did. But younger ones bitch at writing one paragraph. So it will be AI, and since AI is trained on what millennials did during their prime years it will be millennial writing. They'll put up with it because the concept of writing a characters storyline would give them a panic attack

Unironic truth nuke. How the fuck can you even expect games to improve when the teams behind them get broken apart the week after the title releases? We're long past the era where a team can release a 7/10 that sells just alright enough to break even and green-light a sequel that becomes a 9/10. Even when a game launches in a good state the AAA industry still breaks the teams apart rather than keeping them together to build upon what they created and keep the team chemistry that got built up during that time while corporate executives scratch their heads and wonder why suddenly games take x3 times longer to develop with ever ballooning costs. Love them or hate them, the FF7 remake trilogy is emblematic of the overall benefits to the industry of keeping a solid team together. Overall quality is up for debate but the fact that it's looking like they're on track to release an entire AAA trilogy of games almost entirely within 1 console generation is an achievement in of itself that hasn't been seen since the Mass Effect trilogy over a decade ago.

I used to dream of becoming a game developer when I was a kid (my dream was getting a job at Insomniac, because they were my favorite devs growing up playing Spyro and the Ratchet & Clank) but I gave up pursuing that dream in high school from just looking at how the industry was going, not due to culture war bullshit but just the sheer lack of any sort of reliable job security. Why bother learning to code with the ambition to enter an industry where you're paid less than the average for the same skill set, with the expectations of crunch culture, and without even the expectation of royalties at the end of it all, yet alone job security? "Indies" slowly becoming the mainstream as indie teams create desirable games in a faction of the time it takes for 1 single AAA release isn't a shocking turn in the industry, it's merely the logical endpoint of an inherently flawed business model pushed by the AAA space.

Eventually you'll realize that marketing isn't trying to sell you shit games, but that shit games sell you marketing, i.e.: pad traffic and engagement -- they are little more than onboarding schemes to consultation rackets, e-grifting parasocialites and digitial daycare-botfarms.

Do you not understand that generations are primarily raised by the generation two positions back? The primary demographic of Gen Z's parents are Gen Xers, like how the primary demographic of Millennial's parents are boomers (which is why they're positioned to inherent the largest volume of generational wealth as their boomer parents begin to die off.) It's gen Alpha that's the generation being primarily raised by millennials, but just like all but early zoomers gen alpha is completely fucked thanks to the utter failure of primarily boomers keeping a stranglehold on politics keeping society from better adapting to changes to society. We're fated for an idiocracy if there is not major education reforms in place in time for gen beta.

The fact that you even seem to think that it was millenials that raised you suggests to me that you're a late zoomie with millennial parents who were stupid enough to have children before their frontal lobe fully developed.

Very very few millennials actually have any real power in this industry and they're all self employed luckmaxxing freaks. All the top level executives at the biggest studios are boomers or Gen X, all the higher management (creative directors, lead writers) are Gen X. The greatest contribution a Millennial could hope to add to a triple A game is opening blender and modeling 100s of different air conditioning units for the latest open world/ battle royale slop.
