It's kind of sad really, because the generation that's talking about this here are the same the people that had the best, and least adulterated versions of gaming growing up. So the grew up and ruined games going forward by making them only about money.

Who did it? The gamers playing those games you just steamrolled, or the investors in the gaming companies that mandated to do whatever to make games more profitable? What generation those investors came from isn't relevant as these types of investors are in every generation as investors were not required to be gamers but just "savvy" business types.

Truthfully, its on the developers. Developer Talent could walk, but I suspect golden handcuffs and willful ignorance.

I don't think game developers have golden handcuffs. Quite the opposite is what I hear, that they're often laid off after a game is released.
