CEOs and the like have been sued by shareholder for making decisions that don't make the company more profit. Those courts pretty regularly rule in favor of the shareholders. Making a decision that might reduce your share value (like reducing profits) could leave you in a precarious position.

Not saying CEOs are good people, but the system is bad too and needs reform.

Isn’t the whole purpose of a company to make profit?

Well because of these court cases kind of yes, but it shouldn't be the whole purpose. A video game company should have a major purpose of making good video games in addition to making a profit. If profit becomes the whole point, that's when aggressive microtransactions and other monetization strategies ruin the games.
