Money does a damn good job of ruining art. You look at our music, our cinema, our architecture, even our goddamn video games and you see the same shit. Art is second to cash. The culture of small development teams that are driven by their passion for making games is now basically nonexistent. Halo was such a great franchise because of the artistic autonomy of the early Bungie. Devs used to care about their community. But now, one whiff of a penny and they’re busting out the strap-ons, ready to -blam!- their consumers in the ass. It’s not about making a game, it’s about making money, and devs and publishers will hide behind whatever bullshit excuse to keep those bumholes open.
