* StrawmanHasAPoint: Bob's meeting has the CorruptCorporateExecutive give plenty of truth. Even Bob admits to the truth of a few.
** "Every game idea has to go through market testing before it's even considered for development." "New ideas are risky. Companies can't afford to take risks all the time." "You're either going to have to put it through market testing, or you're going to have to have data for similar games on the market."
** When Bob says that the greatness of his game is "obvious", the executive repeatedly turned down the offer to play the game, claiming "We see hundreds of these 'great ideas' every single day, and yet very few become products." Just because Bob think his game is "the greatest game ever made", even if the executive shares the sentiment, the customers might think otherwise. In fact, a game based on one person's rage against Nintendo is niche at best and an AudienceAlienatingPremise at worst. There is also the risk of companies coincidentally coming up with the same "great ideas" and having someone who submitted that same idea earlier sue the company over "copyright infringement", which means that companies normally have a policy of not looking at outside ideas.
** Why does the executive not play games, despite him being the head of a large game company? "What, do you think doll company executives play with dolls all day?"
** Back during Robert's viral campaign, digital distribution was still only starting to get going, which meant that brick-and-mortar establishments were still the main way sales happened. The limitation of shelf space and the requirements of getting a physical game ready to sale, managing that shelf space is of big importance. Companies also tend to be averse to having sales of new products "cannibalise" their older ones, especially since, per what the executive admitted, "Development is expensive, and there's no reason to release new games while the games that are available are still selling."
** Businesses really do give marketing slogans which are effectively advertisements without actually believing them.
** When Bob said, "Hey, I'm a gamer.", the executive said, "Yeah, I see that. You're a mess. Cut your hair and get some decent clothes." People really do have that stigma and stereotype against gamers. Also, Bob, by getting into a meeting with the head of a business, is expected to appear and conduct himself professionally. In contrast, his appearance would be off-putting to many people even outside a professional setting.
** Near the end of the meeting, Bob got, "So why don't you go ahead and use your game as a resume, and maybe you can get a job working for one of the big developers." That is actually how many people got into the game industry; Creator/TobyFox got working at Nintendo due to his work on ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}''.
