G/O writers are ranked on a "scorecard," which is partially based on traffic. Directing them to pivot to guides without infrastructure changes to the site would leave them vulnerable to firing 'for cause' -- ie no severance per their union contract

The "two-week test" was the homepage redesign, which happened after hours on a Monday night without my input and despite my protest.
When pressed for details, management mandated I "invert" the edit strategy and do 50 guides and only 10-15 news stories each week.

Ok, this is why editors are important. It's fair play for a writer to describe this *in a transition* as redefining games going forward, without putting it in quotes. But what Druckmann's saying here is more nuanced. You can condense this without changing the intent.
In editing my rambling answers in my recent interview with SONY, some of my words, context, and intent were unfortunately lost. Well, here's the full long rambling answer for the final question about our future game...
