Revisionism. Releasing questionable quality because the moneypeople were pushing for it has always happened in the past. People who remember are just less likely to scream online about it.
There's also a healthy dose of survivorship bias. The truly terrible games have faded into obscurity back when I got my first Amiga I played "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" for a few weeks, because that was one of the two pack in games. Guess how many times I have revisited that steaming pile of Tiertex shit since then?
You got me wondering what happened to Tiertex and I was surprised to find that they were still trading as recently as 2021!
I guess the pivot out of gaming meant they continued to trade for 20 years after their last video game project. Good on them.
