    I think you aren’t realizing what you implying. Companies that just fund studios for publishing rights are companies like EA, Activision, Take Two, Ubisoft, and Tencent. Every one of these publishers has very aggressive microtransaction platforms. Plus, they all publish predominantly multiplayer games. If the only way for me to get single player games is to buy a console, so be it.

    I’m not trying to be confrontational. I want to hear your honest takes. Let me put it to you this way:

    • If I make an app for Apple, do I have to make it for Android?
    • What if I’m not an Android developer?
    • What if I won’t make money if I make it for Android because my reach is already saturated?
    • What if I know that my app will be heavily pirated as soon as I make it available for Android and there’s nothing I can do about it?

    To me, the only reason Sony is doing it with their back catalog is to try to generate new users for their upcoming sequels. The game is at the end of its earning lifespan if they don’t port it, so why not use it to market the upcoming titles?
