honestly I just think doing the 9 that comes to you in the moment and then doing updated ones every once in awhile is a perfectly legitimate way of doing it

The games industry is obsessed with data and market trends. It's not even about this genre vs that, or single player vs live service. The suits in charge need to reconnect with the thing that players actually want:

A dude who's insanely fucking hot.
