Rockstar has lost key members in their game development and story writing positions. and literally everything with their name on it after RDR2s main story has been meh, or a disaster. yeah sure they didn't develop the GTA remasters in house, management still pushed it through though.

honestly the developers in these companies themselves usually aren't the cause for concern, its almost always the management of these companies. CD Projekt shouldn't get goodwill becuase the devs did a good job fixing the game, the devs should. the management released the game early and tarnished their entire companies reputation, and then did the only thing they could do. damage control. 

i think the largest reason as to why people have misgivings with these companies is soley to do with the decisions management has made, and has naught to do with the quality of the videogames their developers have made. 

arguments can be made about separating art from the artist, but you should always separate the artist from the men who pay him.

Of course when you put it that way yes you are correct. 

Problem is that the average gamer blames the devs for how the game turns out 80%+ of the time. Gamers don’t think about upper management or even bother looking up who owns who. They just see the game and know the developers behind it. (And even then that’s not every time either)
