PR in a AAA company will always limit who can be interviewed. So you would still get a heavily filtered interview.

The same is true for the film industry and production companies. In addition, it’s very common for such production companies or PR teams to have a set of topics that staff aren’t permitted to discuss. Yet despite this, we still get plenty of good interviews related to the actual production and progress of the media.

But if I was working on something and had a detailed vision of what the final product was going to be. I’d kind of resent and hate having to share that vision once a month and have fans complain about each idea and demand other options, features, redesigns of gameplay.

I understand this is just your opinion, but film directors encounter this all the time. Revealing information about any sort of media with a large fanbase or hype around it is always going to invite fan opinions about the content and direction. This isn’t a new thing and yet we still get plenty of well-received films that very much so live up to the director or author’s vision (See Dune, Parasite, Jo Jo Rabbit, Nomadland, etc.). Somehow all these directors are able to stick to their vision and produce a well-received work without redesigning pieces of their media to appease fans.

A good example of how fans of Marvel and DC Comics react to the decisions made behind the camera. It would feel like most people hate my vision and don’t want to play it. There are already hard designs decisions happening behind the scenes with the team and even that small group won’t agree on everything.

I think sources would help provide context for this claim, but just going off what you’ve stated here I don’t see how this would make interviews with developers worse. Unless it’s a fan Q&A, fans are not involved in the interview process and actors/developers/producers are never required to ingest feedback related to an interview in the first place.

You may want it but it would make the developers miserable and the game suffer.

Overall it seems like your gripe with this idea is that introducing interviews like this would seemingly force developers or companies to pivot their direction and start producing games that strictly appease fans. That’s been proven multiple times to be untrue, but to each his own.
