It would be a shame if they got a bunch of devs, put them into teams, handed them money and left them to their own devices. They might have gotten some innovative games out of their existing franchises if they hadn’t. Good thing they nipped that one at the bud.
Joking aside, they kinda do need some form of leadership to make sure everyone stays on track. However, the idea that they need an entire executive team to make games is amusingly corporate when the reality is that if you have a good dev team then you can basically just point them in a direction and then leave them be. Creatives aren’t like normal tradespeople or businessmen. If they’re not creating then they feel bored or even useless. You really don’t typically need someone cracking a whip to get them to make cool shit.
