Yes it has to be this. The employees have no talent. And then when the franchises start having disappointing sales like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth the executives stick a finger in their nose and say "Gee what went wrong? Oh well lets not fire the hacks making our products."
I swear Square Enix deserves to die. Call it whatever but I've learned to appreciate Konami's cruelty towards employees within their company. Auteurs and game designers need to always be kept on a leash strangling their necks. They need to be treated like this. They need to always be on thin ice and they must never be allowed to think they are untouchable. Kojima thought himself a Hollywood Celebrity at Konami and we all saw how that turned out. Konami got rid of him. Now if only Square Enix would find their nerve and treat many of these old hacks the same way as Konami.
You either produce quality products that will sell or there's no more job for you much less a future within the company. And what angers me so much about Toriyama, Nomura, Nojima, Kitase, etc is these bastards have glorious life experience they should understand the basics of making successful products. But they don't, they simply never learned anything while workign the game industry.
