Baldur's Gate 3 dev says AAA is "perversely fascinated" by indie games, because those devs still understand how to make good ideas that aren't reliant on data (www.gamesradar.com)

Not only good videogames. Good art in general. Music, text, movies, tv series and videogames all go for the "mid" nowadays. Offend noone, include everything and everyone and above all: make no hard choices which others haven't done already.

Which results in data driven hollow 1000 in a dozen AI "caught in the algorithm" trash. Just look at most what comes out of Netflix "studios" these days. It will be the end of them.

And you hear it in music too: everything sounds the same these days. Everything.

And you see the same in writing: more and more generic stuff. The big names pump out more and more of same-ish stories. Say what you like about Prime Stephen King for example, but what he wrote during his crazed coke/whiskey fueled years... It was original. And weird.
