13 still a bad luck number, you should know better about curses.
A lot of people I see seem to be making this mistake. Itās not that Sony isnāt helping indies or showcasing them, itās that these smaller non-blockbuster experiences are decreasingly preferred amongst their own first party. Itās not about funding external timed exclusives like Kena, Sifu, Stray, Oddworld, Bugsnax, etc which arenāt lost on us, itās about whether Sony would allow one of their own in-house devs to do something smaller in scale like that if they wanted to. Like, if a small team of 10 at Naughty Dog wanted to make Grounded, could that actually be greenlit?
Thereās a big difference in just paying some indie devs money to release their game on ps5 first and actually taking the risk of allowing one of their own developers not named Media Molecule in doing something smaller or weirder in scope and just not aimed to be this big 70 dollar blockbuster.
Shutting down majority of Japan Studio and consolidating it around Asobi was one of the worst moves in that sense, cuz that studio was perhaps one of the last remnants at Sony still coming out with weird quirky games. If those were not selling, there can be many reasons. The very fact that Sony still continues to rely on sales alone is part of it as well. Itās a problem Microsoft recognized and is attempting to evolve it with gamepass. Itās no longer as much a concern that one of these games a dev under you is pitching is simply not gonna sell ten million copies, as thatās no longer the point. Every game on the service at that point is on level field, youāre no longer making a safe bet on a AAA and taking a risk on an indie, itās pretty much all free reign for you to go and play whatever you see on the service.
This is why a model like gamepass helps, itās fundamentally meant to be not all about blockbusters. Not everyone whoās interested in a service like Gamepass are solely interested in the blockbusters on it, cuz most people would have gotten these or played these games anyway, itās the smaller, weirder ones that actually benefit the most from a service like this.
Dreams and Concrete Genie are the only things they did the whole gen in the first party front that wasnāt this cinematic over the shoulder slow walk and talk blockbuster action adventure. Now itās completely possible absolutely no one at any of these studios want to make anything but what theyāve done and will continue to, but thatās just hard for me to believe that thereās literally no grassroots over at Sony anymore. And if there really isnāt, thatās even troubling than what weāre talking about.

If itās indeed Metal Gear by Kojimaā¦personally Iām kinda over it to be honest. I didnāt even finish 5, couldnāt hold my attention and thought the game world itself was extremely bland and boring. Does there really need to be another one?
again there is nothing wrong about Sony decision.
Sony japan losing most of itās talent is sad but that how industry works.
