>we thought our retarded fans would buy it no matter what
it seems that in the western gamedev industry they are more open about it
also
>they unironically expected their core audience which usually buys stuff like uncharted, gt, tlou, god of war
sony pretty much brought itself in the corner here
when people buy a new playstation they expect the next gow, horizon and all that shit that has multigorilion budgets and thousands of people working on them, how is it sustainable with zero AA/indie output like japan studio? this paired with the retarded decision of shtting out 12 live service games pretty much created the no games meme because singleplayer focused studios were working on unrelated shit
bend studio hasn't made a single game since 2019 yet they had to pay the devs and rent the office, this is so retarded and inefficient
