I kind of feel bad for Gamefreak now. I've been shitting on them for over a decade, calling them incompetent, but it's not even their fault. They've been given a shoestring budget and can't even afford to pay their employees a living wage.
You can't blame them for the Dexit; those 800 old mons don't fit in the budget.
You can't blame them for the bug in S/V, they can't afford QA testers.
You can't blame them for accepting ESG bribes; it's half their budget.
You might make the Tony Stark argument - that other billion dollar franchises were made in a cave out of a box of scraps. And while that is true, it's still retarded that a 3 billion dollar/year franchise can't make a quality game.
Gamefreak is not the enemy, it's the people bathing in 3 billion dollars/year as if they were Scrooge McDuck.
