Maybe they should stop budgeting so much for video games. Nobody is forcing them to make everything 4k graphic open world games where you can do anything you want.

I think the new management at Sony agrees, but what that means is that people get laid off.

As if this existing studio has been corrupted by Sony’s big budgets, and putting together a whole new studio will cost less than telling one group to figure out how to make two games.

If only costs, personnel, and risk could be divided that easily.

Right, because tanking a working company with nine hundred people is cheap and simple.

Long-term, it is in fact cheaper to not pay 900 people than it is to pay them.
