BioWare co-founder: game execs "have never made a game" and don't get it
Former BioWare co‑founder James Ohlen said many senior executives in the video‑game industry have never personally created a game, which he believes leads to poor decision‑making and a disconnect from developers. He argued that this lack of hands‑on experience hampers understanding of production challenges and can result in misguided business strategies. He urged leaders to understand development cycles firsthand.
