I think it's one reason we're seeing such a panic in game dev right now as well. There's a lot of "hope" by executive staff that AI will be doing some heavy lifting in the next 2-3 years, and everyone's looking "overstaffed" by that reckoning.

  Because DD2 is the bee's fucking knees and everyone should be playing it.
I tried to tell Capcom 10 years ago, but they didn't listen.

No, I disagree. It's because for once a fucking Marketing department didn't wildly over-speculate on what a game might do in this economy.
