that is a really stupid take. Shit like that is how Bioware almost destroyed the rpg market. and, every turned based rpg turned into Diablo. "industry common knowledge" as they just listen to themselves and destroy the industry. some bioware lead decides no one wants turn based rpgs anymore. tells this to everyone. those people go to work at other studios, and this perpetuates.
Theres a ton of trends that work this way. and suddenly the are SHOCKED when someone finally bucks the trend, and realize they have no idea what the public wants.
