The biggest takeaway I get from this is the rumor that KK herself is now openly fighting with Disney heads when up to this point, she had almost no real pushback for all her disastrous handling of the IP and was even given more and more power for her bullshit instead. If Disney finally did something against her in any way, that is more telling of the situation than anything else.

I'm not surprised if that's the same reason why Dead Or Alive and Ninja Gaiden is dead as well:

Koei Tecmo basically just threw everyone who legit wants those games to still thrive out or into other shit entirely which is an absolute shame.

He actually says its been happening since the 90s (even Kojima got promoted after the first game and only came back cause they were shit at continuing the story ) and its why you don't see a lot of old fgs that had unique mechanics around anymore. Japan shifted its focus from specialist jobs to a more administrative system that favored promoting workers quickly which also had the side effect of taking them away from their passion projects until eventually there's just no one left to work on sequels so whoever was left eventually moved on too.

Yeah, that's the type of shit that is the reason why we got nothing but Ni-Oh clones coming from Koei Tecmo, nothing but DankSouls from FromSoft now instead of anything different(outside of the extremely rare Armored Core games) and so on and so forth.

God, I legit miss the days where you can just see companies making games for the passion of it like Star Gladiator and the like, now it's the same 2-3 games and nothing else.
