We see the effects of bad tooling and game engines all the time. Just look at the disastrous development histories of games like Destiny, FF13, FF15, any number of Battlefield games, or Mass Effect Andromeda. edit: At this point, I think it's clear that it's not just their tooling and engine though. I mean, clearly these are big issues, but I'd say it largely stems from a lack of technical expertise and/or investment in R&D and engine/tool development.
