People seem to be confused about this because Sony just nuked D2.
I speak corpo so, I'll translate.
What Sony is saying is:
"We want games that cost virtually nothing to produce or maintain, but have a 1000x return on investment over the first 2-3 years of its life cycle"
> be Sony
> cancel Factions
> cancel live service Spider-Man
> force Bluepoint to make live service game
> shut them down
> aquire Bungie
> shut down Destiny 2
> Concord
"We want to revitalize the market with live service games".
What is this business strategy called?
If you put these two game cinematic scenes together from ‘GOD OF WAR: RAGNAROK’ and ‘GOD OF WAR: LAUFEY’ you can see Kratos finds Faye in the afterlife since Thor momentarily kills him but after a few seconds, Thor brings Kratos back to life by using Mjölnir lightning.
