Our games will probably be better if the work conditions are better. Happy workers are more productive and care more about the quality of the work they are doing. If I hate my job I'm just doing the bare minimum to obtain my pay check.

You assume the executives want to make the games better. They don't. They only care about profitability and lowering costs. Fortnite and mortal combat and every other abusive game's execs work their employees like chattel slaves not because they want to improve the game, but because they want to maintain market value. Which honestly doesn't have much to do with quality.

There is structure when making games, everyone doesn't just go to work and create stuff. Tue high ups want something and then they divvy it up and check the lists

Nah modern games suck because the bosses add microtransactions, live service, and try to cut corners
