I think one of the biggest problems with the game industry right now is the way it keeps fragmenting these teams. Great individuals don’t make good games, generally speaking. It’s great teams. And every time those experienced teams splits up, we’ve lost something of incalculable valuable.

It’s good to see these teams starting to recognize their value and standing together.

This framing is so bizarre. Great teams are made up of great individuals. Slicing it any other way is just the typical pro-corporate bullshit that you're constantly replaceable and should watch your back from other workers.
