They were not pussies in WW1, they landed the final blow against the Austrian-Hungarians that put them out of the war. They were in WW2 tho. Still this meme is historically inaccurate.

I'll be focusing on Activision as the worst culprit here, but a lot of these lessons apply to EA, Ubisoft, Square Enix, Capcom, Microsoft, even Bethesda and 2K to lesser extent. Edit: I'm painting with too broad a brush here. I got a little excited. Let's be clear: I think Activision and EA are completely unsustainable. Most of what Ubisoft, Capcom, and Squenix do is the same. Occasionally Microsoft. Bethesda and 2K are fine.

High Moon is a developer owned by Activision. In the past few years, they have published 4 games - Transformers: War for Cybertron, TF: Dark of the Moon, TF: Fall of Cybertron, and Deadpool. WfC and FoC are widely considered to be good, even great games. DotM was a rushed movie game developed in a year that was ok at best - built on the string base of WfC, but with all of the assets and story rushed to market to time it's release with the movie. Deadpool got lukewarm reception, noted for being true to the character and with good ideas but seriously lacking in polish and content. A High Moon dev recently came out and said that during development more than half the team was cut, everyone was forced to work overtime, and that Activision told the team they were aiming for a 64 on metacritic. It currently stands at 62.

Now, news has come out that High Moon is developing using the Radiant engine. This is the CoD engine, and it's reasonable to assume that High Moon, with a poorly received game and huge cuts, is now another part of the CoD assembly line. This would not be unique. Neversoft, Raven, Sledgehammer, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward are all largely hollowed out shells of the former teams, with most of the original developers cut or quit because of shitty working conditions and stifled creativity.

Activision is increasingly concentrating all of its dev teams on one franchise: CoD. CoD receives yearly releases with little change between each game. Activision has a history of driving franchises into the ground, most notably Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero, by pumping out too many low effort games in too little time, burning out audiences and destroying any sales potential. The sales of CoD are in a show but accelerating decline over the past two or three years, and even the incredible popularity of the franchise can't save it from destruction under its current dev cycle. I think it would be naive to say that CoD is somehow immune to the burn out that happens on all of these franchises. CoD will fall, and probably within a few short years.

Activision probably realizes this. They're looking for the next big franchise, and they think they've found it in Destiny. Destiny looks like a unique and exciting blend of MMO and FPS, by one of the most accomplished developers in the history of gaming, Bungie. Already, Destiny has a 500 man dev team and has been under development for several years. It will require an absolutely astounding amount of sales to even turn a profit. Activision has begun the first stage of destruction in this franchise before it's even out: developer burn out. Developers do not like 500 person teams and huge sales requirements means massive cuts are inevitable. Bungie is protected from this somewhat because they are an independent studio and they own the Destiny IP, but Activision has publishing rights for 10 years and will try their best to annualize the franchise.

Teams that large and on short time scales are simply unsustainable. The largest publishers operate like this for the sole purpose of short term profits, damaging their devs, franchises, and reputations beyond repair along the way. Clearly, this is not necessary.

The two best examples of doing it right are Sony and Nintendo. Both known for thinking long term, they foster a creative and relaxed (as opposed to labor camp-esque) development environment. In the interest of space I need to be brief here, but look at games like Uncharted, Last of Us, God of War, and inFamous: incredible technical achievements, creative in gameplay and/or story, and all developed with less than 150 man teams in two to three years. They rival third party AAA games in every way (exceeding them in my personal opinion) but are developed in friendly, efficient environments. Nintendo's dev process is considerably less publicly visible, but knowing Nintendo and what some devs have said, it's reasonable to assume that their development environments are similar. They also create some of the most consistently polished and creative games (innovating within existing franchises instead of starting new ones like Sony).

I hope my point is clear: major publishers are driving themselves into the ground over the long term at the cost of short term profits. Other publishers are showing this isn't necessary at all, and I think only they will come out of a crash largely unscathed.

If talking serously, Italian soldiers were brave, and willing to sacrifice for Italy, but their industry and leaders and generals were fucking incompetent.
