That's not even to say that the caliber of the typical economics or business major is astoundingly low anyways, even at top schools. I've seen and TA'd my fair share of idiots going to top consulting firms.

You'd be a fool to think that most people in positions of power making decisions are competent and capable. They really don't!
The funny thing is, Square Enix has become pretty notorious for investing in publishing extremely bad games lately. There's a reason people frequently joke that XIV is used to financially recover from their other failures.

Marvel's Avengers, Balan Wonderworld, Left Alive, Oninaki, The Quiet Man, Just Cause etc.
