Musk’s pattern:

• Overpromise
• Reap investment dollars
• Talk big talk
• Before being called on to deliver, move on to the next thing to overpromise
• Underdeliver, or just completely fail to deliver

Except one of the best assets of a game company is people who know how to make a good game. Retaining their talent is worth the extra pay. Treating veteran game makers like replaceable cogs is how you get the current AAA game industry, with nothing but overpriced lukewarm soul-dead rehashes of prior games that are full of bugs and devoid of merit.

The big corps seem to think that their talent is all in their upper management, and that’s why the industry sucks donkey balls these days.
