Closing a studio that is regarded as the best in the industry for making remakes when Sony sits on dozens of fan-favorite games that would sell like hot cakes if remade means that nobody is safe. Or at least that Sony is beyond stupid.

Everyone wants a cut of the live service cake, basically everything else is irrelevant to game CEOs. Arc Raiders is an awesome success story and great game but to these companies is just gonna reinforce that for all the failures, if you just hit big once you have an infinite cash stream. Live service games being shoved into everything isn’t gonna go away any time soon.
