I think it’s cause of envy. Every once in a while, a game comes that just seems to do a lot of things and become very very successful (like red dead and gta).

Then these other studios get FOMO and turn to a go big or go home attitude.

So what you end up with is this inflation of features when only a few devs can land a big game like that.
