I think creative and talented people should spend their energies elsewhere. Putting time, energy and love into a corporate creation where, arguably, the corporation cares only about profit is a complete waste of time. This is one of the chief failings in video game construction and ultimately prevents it from becoming a full, 3 dimensional art form. Typically it is only one or two people on a team that drive the project’s artistic story elements and since they boil down to being merely “employees” their days with the company are numbered. And if they do stay they will be “promoted” leaving the key spot to some one else. Video games can not become a serious art form in such an environment, the best they can hope for is diversionary entertainment. COD, anyone?

But who are you to decide where someone's time should lie. I find it incredibly disrespectful for these people to defend their actions by going, "Oh, were only trying to help you."

Not sure what you are saying and i am pretty sure the point i was making sailed right over your head, not surprising in here, but obviously this is only my opinion regarding video games as an art form. Feel free to view it any way you like, i support democracy fully.
