Corpos can't make good games because they're sociopaths who don't understand art, only products. Understanding art requires a functioning connection to humanity and emotions, which they lack.
Games aren't only products; they're art. Good art is not capable of universal appeal. The more demographics you try to appeal to for the sake of appeasing your shareholder overlords, the more dogshit your game will be.
Games made to support the interests of mentally ill rich people cannot be well made categorically. This is why AAA has sucked ever since wall street took over every studio.
CandyCrush would like a word
Candy crush is just another reskin of bejeweled; a game made by an indie developer in the year 2000.
which is a reskin of 1994's Shariki which was a version of 1989's Columns - both made by bedroom solo programmers.
