I often hear people blame Amazon Game Studios for the failure of the games they publish, Lost Ark, Throne and Liberty, New World, wanting to censor Blue Protocol before it was even released etc

But are they really responsible for games like Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty being so dogshit?
Sure making Korean NPCs black for no reason and refusing to release fan service skins is cringe as fuck but the core game design being garbage and anti consumer friendly(P2W) is still the developer's fault not the publisher right?

I think it's just a case of the stars aligning for all the wrong reasons, shit, developers, shit publisher
