I believe it, considering that GTA6's budget already went over a billion, and SIE probably would want some similarly budgeted single player games to try to get the same "ultra-blockbuster" feel for consumers, execpt the best they got was Wolverine and Cuckman's biggest money pit yet.
Remember goys. Dragon Age went woke and went to the moon baby!
Oh right, that was a series once.
Current LOW estimates for gta6's budget are over $2 billion. As far as the wider industry is concerned, it's fucked if gta6 flops, it's fucked if gta6 succeeds, because the only lesson that will be learned by the western AAA industry in the event of it succeeding will be "oh, we need to cancel 80% of our games and pump all their budgets into one big game that takes us a decade!"
I'm inherently distrustful of shit like this after Hatred and DoA Beach Volleyball exploited anti-woke sentiment to shill their mid-to-shitty games. Buy a game because you want to play it, not because the dev claims to support your politics.
But it DID get worse.
Don't forget to factor in however many hundreds of millions were wasted on the Naughty Dog live service game that ultimately went nowhere because it took ND years of development to realize they don't know shit about fuck when it comes to building and maintaining a live service.
Nah. Rockstar made an absolute fuckload of money due to retards buying shark cards on console to get in-game cash, and then raked in even more money with the damned GTA+ subscription(which we already know they're including for gta6).
Looks like Kim from Gears of War
the funny and sad part is that astrobot literally behaves like sackboy, they had the golden goose with them all this time but decided to neglect it due to sheer retardation i wager.Sony ditches Astrobot for new sleep-deprived bear mascot meant to rival Hello Kitty
This is just hilarious, at least people could associate with Astro Bot as an mascot since he have a game. Replacing Astro Bot with a adult care bear with sleep problems, are just retarded
Rockstar's games are multiplatform and GTA Online and its MTX is their main moneyspinner.
They traded a shameless Mario knockoff for an even more shameless knockoff.
Sony have had some success with mascots, that they squander every time, because they terminally mismanage every franchise they own and create.

Please God let the budget on this game break a billion, I want to see just how much money Playstation can burn before the rest of Sony goes "what the fuck we can't paper over that bombing"
You watch your fucking whore mouth about DoA Xtreme beach volleyball. That game came out in 2003, way before woke was even an idea.
I wonder if marketing was factored into that budget? I haven't heard a peep from this, past the trailer.
TLOU2 had exception luck coming out during the pandemic and having the previous games legacy as free marketing. The common consensus in retrospective, is that the sequel was mediocre. Neil does not have that level of luck to help him again.
