True, but I expect that wasn't meant literally; it was expressed that way for rhetorical effect.

Most of the capitalist system we're in has incentivized short-term cashflow over long-term revenue for most stakeholders (annual bonuses, for example), and AAA gaming is almost entirely following those trends, too.
