I mean, not to totally disregard your title, because you may absolutely be correct about that, the same is true of every other video game company CEO as with this one, I'm pretty certain.
Don't you love it when you are working for a big company, and they announce that the new CEO is from Coke or Pillsbury or Ford or some other industry that has nothing in common with yours, but somehow just doing the same job as the last know-nothing that they fired, using the same current popular experimental business strategies, is going to be better this time?
And then they pay them millions to fuck it all up, while they pay you a pittance to try to keep it together, as they fuck it up.
It's a thing with CEOs in all industries. Like I used to work for a manufacturer of machines that recycled plastics. We had the same CEO in Sweden goin back to the 90's that was very entrenched in that hyper specific industry but he was fired. He was replaced by someone who's previous background was being a CEO for a company that made standing desks.
PlayStation's CEO was the founder and head of Guerrilla Games. Not that it's stopped him from shutting down studio after studio.
