I worked as a games producer for a major video game company 20 years ago and had bimonthly project green light meetings. Every 60 days, I had to produce a 80-120 slide powerpoint with info from development, marketing, PR, sales, finance, etc using their awful house layout. Then print these massive tomes for the executives. They would ignore everything else, and the presentation, jump straight to the finance info at the back of the deck and discuss the EBITDA for 10 minutes and then end the meeting.
