Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) review | One More Level
When suits, meaning people who have never played games and only care about hedge fund returns, take over, the focus shifts entirely to spreadsheets and profits. They don’t care about making great games or quality products. Their goal is to create games where they can charge as much as possible through microtransactions. That’s why we’re in the situation we’re in today—companies like PlayStation remastering games that are less than 10 years old. This is also a side effect of the lack of competition. Without pressure from competitors, companies like Sony can get away with almost anything. If Xbox were selling at the same level, there’s no way Sony could charge $700 for a PlayStation 5 Pro without including a disc drive or a stand. But with no real competition, they know they can push the limits.
Instead of exploring their hundreds of legendary IPs, they keep remastering recent games, while fans beg for titles like Bloodborne on PC or PlayStation 5. But they won’t do it unless they can charge full price. Gaming as we once knew it—a hobby driven by creativity and passion—is disappearing. Now, it’s all about money and greed, and it’s only going to get worse. With gaming generating more revenue than any other entertainment industry, it was inevitable that people who care nothing about the games themselves, only the profits, would get involved. These are the people buying up companies, and for them, the bottom line is all that matters
