They did. They decided they like the economic increase to GDP from games but hate people owning their games or talking to each other freely so they will solidify companies right to take away your liocenens for any reason and report you to the fuzz if you say the nigger word

>I don't think one guy had much to do with it.
You're correct, it isn't a single stick but a bundle of faggots responsible for all this faggotry.
I think art grant to games (even if they get one or two correct) drags down over all quality because the financial incentives no longer line up with what customers want, it lines up with who ever hands out the grant money wants.
It also doesn't solve any issue with games.
>If game sucks, it doesn't get money and gets no future installments
>If game good, game gets money and future installments
>If game good but did not sell well, cult classic status ensures future remakes or potential follow up from investors
