How many people do you suspect care how much manual labor they pour into collecting a paycheck, let alone call it “art”? I don’t give a damn if I never handwrite another line of code for my day job.
You’re worried about the state and future of AAA gaming? That shit has sucked for decades now.

Again, how is that relevant to the point being made? Just because it sucks doesn’t mean we should just give up and continue to make it worse.
Devs need to quit working for AAA studios, leave them high and dry, and go start up their own indie production.
Malicious compliance. Burn it down and let the ash fertilize indy gaming.
Denial of Labor > malicious compliance but you seem to get the gist.

In one scenario you continue to aid in the degradation of the industry while the other you have dignity.
Sorry, I just cannot jive with the sellout mentality.
Must be nice not to have to put food on the table.
