"Too big to fail" is incorrect because there have been obvious declines in certain areas of the video game industry. If you told people in 2010 the current state of Sony in 2023 they'd be shocked.
It's hard to know what will happen but it's pretty grim. It seems like the industry is relying on triple A titles for its survival and there is no "shovelware" except in the PC world, which is important for a healthy industry.
The reason why budgets are bloated is because of stuff like this. And they're probably shoving all the work to other places to pass the buck to not put themselves at risk. Consider how many studios have closed down but these big names seem to be ok no matter what.
BTW they aren't making money at 60-70 dollars (or whatever it costs for) a game. It's the only thing they're honest about. Which begs the question how are they making their money? Because it isn't through sales.
