    ya have to consider that game development back then was a hobby/new business venture and the corporations hadnt gotten its capitalist, profit-maximizing ray all over the process yet

    just look at indies vs the usual story of how upper management gets in the way of development

      Exaclty. I can find you an indie game in the last couple years for each top-line category. Well, except coding the entire game in assembly. I mean, it’s a flex, but we just don’t live in that world of necessity anymore.
