The studio is pretty diverse, which is refreshing for the games industry. It could be better--that diversity isn't reflected in team management--but there are efforts to improve.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communicate the studio's goals and stick to them, or explain clearly why the previous goals were dropped in favor of new ones. Focus on leading the studio instead of micromanaging the current pet project.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The current pet project runs with chaotic urgency, inefficiently churning on its design and burning its team out. The established projects settle into lethargic "more of the same" patterns. Find a way to balance these things: more urgency for established products, more patience with the new.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

We keep making the same mistakes, releasing unstable and uncertain designs to the public before changing them drastically. We need to be able to make decisions as a team instead of shrugging and seeing how the CEO's latest whim plays out. Our customers do not trust us, for good reason!
