Vi hører det hele tiden i disse tider, at det at udvikle gigantiske AAA-spil med realistisk grafik er blevet så dyrt, at det er meget svært at skabe en rentabel forretning for de fleste studier, særligt hvis ens spil ikke bliver et hit på samme måde som Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Baldur's Gate III eller sågar Palworld.
Selvom at Sony løbende producerer hits blandt deres egne PlayStation-studier, såsom God of War Ragnarök, førnævnte Marvel's Spider-Man 2 og The Last of Us: Part II, så mærker de åbenbart også presset. Som VGC skriver har den nuværende Sony COO og CFO, Hiroki Totoki, slået fast, at deres studier skal forbedre sig "when it comes to business":
"People who work in the studios have very high motivation. They're very highly motivated, they're very good people, and they have great creative minds and knowledge of live streaming. However, having said that, when it comes to the business, I think there is room for improvement. And that's to do with how to use money, the schedule of development and how to fulfil one's accountability towards development - those are my frank impressions. I will continue to engage in dialogue with the people so that we can find the right way to proceed."
Måske mener Totoki at hvert studie kan blive optimeret så budgetterne bruges mere omhyggeligt? Hvad tror du?
