'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' screenwriter Charlie Kaufman took aim at Hollywood's power structure in a fiery speech at the WGA Awards.

This made me think of the game industry as well.
“The world is beautiful. The world is impossibly complicated. And we have the opportunity to explore that. If we give that up for the carrot, then we might as well be the executives.”
“I have dropped the ball, I have wasted years seeking the approval of people with money. Don’t get trapped in their world of box office numbers. You don’t work for the world of box office numbers. You work for the world. Just make your story honest and tell it."
Thankfully, games can be indie and still get the attention of the masses. With movies, it's more difficult.
