And to take this a step farther, I strongly suspect Playstation's long-term strategy is to phase out single player games entirely outside of a handful of successful franchises. It's not much different from XBOX's current plan to focus on Elder Scrolls and Fallout and cancel/lay off everything else. Playstation is just better at hiding it. It would certainly explain that massive live service push over the PS5 generation, why the Horizon franchise is pivoting to live service when even the few diehard fans it has would prefer a new single player game, and why Naughty Dog wasted years on a Last of Us live service that got canceled. Heck, I'm guessing that God of War Laundry game is being made from the leftovers of that canceled God of War live service.
