In creative areas such as video games or the film industry, it is already difficult enough to be successful with a project. It is even more difficult to successfully implement several projects or even to have the entire portfolio consist of top titles. And then there are the luminaries who explore a new genre with every game or film.
Only a few people and studios can claim such an achievement, such as the legendary director Steven Spielberg, who brought almost every film genre to the screen in his long career, from horror to science fiction and animation, to the delight of millions of cinemagoers .
