The reason why reliance on triple A is a death sentence is because they think that games are just a formula they can repeat and be entitled to money and therefore any DEI hire can follow the formula. Meanwhile the DEI hires are destroying the product

[@mikael2670]

And the studios, they become divided. On one side is the team who like to make good games and on the other is the political driven activists who wants to burn gaming to the ground. When cohesion is thrown out of the window, so is efficiency, morale but also creative freedom. A divided studio is a dead studio! And that's even without adding in yet another death sentence that dei/bridge/whatever.such.practice brings - Their hiring practices, when hiring people who lack the skill to do a job, very insufficiently or is not really fitting in the studio - Due to having to hire x of dit or y of dat to get the right "let's kill our studio mix" the team and thus end up breaking the law by being rac/sex/whatever that end with ist - Instead of what a sane company would do - Hire the most skilled and efficient person who would fit well into the team. So the studios even go as far as to knowingly break the law to destroy themselves, and then cry about anything but their own fault! The studios walking that path if anything deserve whats coming!
