They are in fact aimed to teenagers

There are some adult like RPGs out there but they sell way less. People like teen story and grand scale plots where you need to defeat a bunch of gods to save your universe from cancellation

Is there a rpg where you are a game dev fighting CEOs to stop your game from cancellation?

Yes, till the end of time. You have to stop 4th dimensional game Ceo Lucifer from shutting down the Universe MMO.

that game annoyed the hell out of me, guides would tell me that I need to patent Orichalcum so I don't have to pay out the wooza, but the lady that you need to hire to do exactly that seems to always instant patents it the moment you're able to hire her

Should really spoiler that. It's a massive one.

It came out more than 20 years ago. Do we need to put a spoiler tag on Super Mario Brothers so nobody accidentally finds out Mario rescues the princess at the end?

What harm is there in putting a spoiler tag? It's called being considerate, especially of a heavily story based game.

No harm, but IMO after a certain amount of time has passed there should be no expectation for it. And 20 years is way more than long enough.

If that's what you believe, I guess.
