Obviously a response to Microsoft's acquisitions and kind of funny that this studio once by owned by MS and Acti-Blizz ends up with Sony. Sony says they'll remain a multiplatform studio, but we all know that won't last forever.
Reminder that industry consolidation is a direct and inevitable result of big tech encroachment into gaming. Capitalism bad for games.
I'd be surprised if Sony moves their traditional studios away from that. Spider-Man, The Last of Us, and God of War make sickening amounts of money.
