EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?

Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.

Looks like money spoils people.

Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.
