This is a fucking nothing article that is already outdated. The fucking piece of shit clickbait title tries to imply they are struggling to break even when they could not be further from the truth.

Fuck this clickbait ass BULLSHIT

downvote it and move on, giving it attention only gets replies like ‘welcome to lemmy’ - not really helpful - or people looking to argue about pedantry.

I don’t disagree about the article tho.

Its going to be a nightmare the moment one of these AAAs fails to sell, and Sony knows it.

I have every intention of buying it…when it comes to Steam. I’m not getting PS5 just to play it now.

Hell, I have a ps5 and now that they release games on pc it’s hard for me to justify buying anything for the PlayStation when I can wait to play on my desktop or steam deck.

They know these games sell systems. This and another recent headline about PS+ titles being Sony exclusives costing the company amount or whatever…
They know a huge part of why these projects are worth the cost is outside of sales of that game and as a mechanism to maintain market dominance.

This is why I’m generally okay with Playstation exclusives, aside from the fact that most of them are IPs that wouldn’t even exist otherwise. They’re okay with higher budgets to maintain that higher level of quality.

Don’t also doesn’t care if this particular game does but so well. It will sell systems and lock people into the ecosystem.
