>Can't keep up and have to keep taking shortcuts while the marketing team picks up the slack
>You get the big numbers in some irrelevant areas but your games are turning into shit and you keep having to scale back your other content and the marketing team keeps pushing the irrelevant numbers
>Eventually your budget goes down while the marketing team gets a bigger budget
>Upper management and the shareholders have all been bamboozled by the marketing and they want the big number to go up
>You can't return to the glory days with your passionless team of wageslaves but you can make the big numbers go up
Openworld games are practically by nature going to be sucked dry by their own marketing while hollowing out their company.

Only way it can end is to debloat massively but you can't market a small, concise and cohesive world very well, it's much easier to market how many square miles the map size is.

That's itIt's way harder to convince someone that "you are really good and fun in bed" than just "I have a 20 cm dick"

Morrowind is the only recent open world game with a good open world and it was 20 years ago. Instant fast travel anywhere has just been a bad decision for open world games. The fact that fast travel in Morrowind has to be done through the game world and outside of Mark/Recall you cannot just teleport anywhere gives the world a bigger sense of immersion and makes exploration actually meaningful.

100 percent completion isn't going to complete itself
