Why are studios trying so hard lately to drive the entire game industry into the ground? I don't get it.
There are differences between a studio, publisher, and distributor. Sometimes they are the same corpo, sometimes they aren't. But whenever you see some enshitification of games, it's most likely the publisher. You might want to direct your anger at Sony in this case, not the studio.
It's a more general comment aimed at the overall attempt to completely destroy the industry by some people. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if a decade from now every large game company but Indies wasn't struggling to keep their doors open.
They've backed themselves into a corner with this expectation that every game be an open world game with hyper realistic graphics. The risingg costs are their own fault.
