As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations
not rly, you don’t have studio level funding if you don’t optimize (the content) for revenue. same with large/aaa level games
edit: according to George Lucas, filmmakers in the USSR had more artistic freedom than he had when making Star Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWqvaMEFIdI
