Sony forcing great single player developers to make live service games for PlayStation is a huge risk.

It is baffling why Sony thinks studios who are known for their single player story driven games will all the sudden be rock stars at GAAS model games. No matter how it turns out, you've already got a dedicated fan base for these companies expecting a single player story driven game. These types of gamers have no interest whatsoever in micro transaction riddled online experiences. And by diverting developers away from single player content towards GAAS content, they'll make worse single player games and half hearted multiplayer online games.

I hate that my Xbox keeps trying to sell me on battle pass for COD. I'm not buying any more versions of the game.
