This is terrific advice and more relevant than ever in the gaming industry, where Xbox is bleeding studios and employees, but Nintendo just gave everyone a 10% raise.
But Xbox very much tried for "long term over short term" They invested a ton in that. Just, badly and with miserable returns.
They tried to put full leash on studios, didn't worked, they tried to just "hey, you did good game, we buy you and just give you money to make next one" didn't work, they tried "buy studio that already is in progress of making anticipated game", didn't work either. And the one game that was actually successful above projections, they fired the fucking studio that made it!
Hell, one of their flops, Redfall, apparently "reviewed well internally". It just seems like they have nobody there that knows what a good game is
