Bravo Sony.
Consoles are really more of a fashion statement these days.

Former PlayStation CEO Believes Video Game Industry to be Untenable Financially
https://archive.is/ndNoj
We've been hearing about the "increased cost of game development" ever since the PS3 era. I remember an article in an old Playstation mag in Australia saying the same damn thing before the PS3 came out:

http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.c ... pinion.htm

http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.c ... inion2.htm

This was from 2002. This quote from Guru Larry's best friend became reality:
I believe Sony themselves have stood up and said that they really only want to deal with about five developers in the world.
The old boomer devs back then were warning that smaller studios would shut down and the industry insisting on high prices would mean less games succeed. Six years later Free Radical went from making Timesplitters games and being successful to going out of business when Haze flopped. Factor 5 went out of business when Lair flopped even though they had a successful track record.

The idiots running the industry have had plenty of signs showing that people don't want to pay these high prices for games and that the games don't need to be this expensive. Crowdfunding proved that there is demand for middle market games nearly 10 years ago and now there are a metric fuckton of smaller publishers funding more niche games. The AAA industry has been run by morons for two decades with a strategy that doesn't work.

And yet, their profits have reached record highs since covid. Gaming is more popular now than it has ever been. It's their own fucking fault if they can't figure out how to bring their costs down and stop trying to make movies.

You also have to take into account that the fuckers are likely lying anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_m ... to_develop

You'll notice that most of the games listed here are from 2008-2013, when AAA games started to become truly terrible and bloated with meaningless spectacle. They seemed to have scaled things way the fuck back recently and that is because 3D assets were the biggest budget issue. You have a ton of asset stores like Turbosquid now selling all sorts of shit that devs can use and the tools are clearly becoming easier to use speeding up dev time, it makes no sense for budgets to go up when if anything you should be way more efficient now.

I know it could be incompetence (like with Star Citizen) but in reality the cunts are lying and jacking up their prices because that is the only business model they know. There is a reason Gabe Newell became a fucking billionaire by ignoring these people, and judging by how often they have tried to kill Steam and failed they really, REALLY hate him for dropping the price of games and offering freedom. They want Epic to kill them so they can do what they always wanted to do, charge full price via online distribution cutting out the retailer and taking all the profit for themselves. That was always the plan and Gabe fucked it up with all these discounts and sales.

Sony's game division is just another movie studio so there's bound to be Pesos old accounting somewhere.

You seem to be forgetting the tendency of especially walking sim developers to hire Hollywood actors. For all the good it does.

(Srsly I know I have seen movies with Norman Reedus in it, but you may as well be playing a generic Sim in Death Stranding for all I care.)
