My bad, you're absolutely right on that.

I do want to defend that I'm right in spirit however - Arkane was receiving pressure from Zenimax (it's parent company) from even before the buyout. Microsoft didn't reverse that decision, and I think it was likely Arkane was still pressured to make/release a game they never would have made otherwise. I think the same idea of external pressure and short-termism still apply, and that's indicative of where the industry as a whole is.
