Yep, it's a totally separate thing. These derivative-looking games are getting funded and marketed because they sell, or at least, sell to demanded expectations.

This criticism fundamentally misunderstands who gets to decide what ideas get made, imo. I don’t think it is even remotely true that game devs now are drawing from a shallower well of inspiration

Every game dev I've ever met - even the most tenured and senior ones - love, play, and are inspired by their fellow peers' video games.

I personally believe a wide variety of interests and life experiences (I daresay...diversity) is crucial to crafting compelling media, but it's very silly to blame the samey-mess of AAA games on creative folks when it's yet again a money problem.
