It's not all that weird when you consider that even a tremendously successful high-profile release like God of War is going to make peanuts in its lifetime compared to some low-effort MP lootbox game you can poo poo out once a year. Shareholders will always want to maximize profit, which means taking fewer risks and homogenizing all their products to fit the same service model.

Games would only cost half as much to make if they quit spending 100 million plus on marketing them

Killing the A- or AA- gaming segments was a sacrifice the big publishers were willing to make in order to keep the riff raff out of their development treehouse.

Sony still has warehouses full of PSTV's that now find themselves on the shelves again come December. In PS Classic form.

Really surprised it took them this long to do that, given with how much they were fire saling PSTV's you could get a PSTV and those games for not much more than $100 if you had a set mind about it, and would even get your controllers wirelessly by doing so.

Judging by the tyre fire the PSN has been for more than a decade now, I'd guess it was a lack of engineering competency in figuring out how to remove the Vita bios and feeding the custom one, also disabling or physically removing Wi-Fi antennae.

No, I meant Netflix because they were paying for a port of the Telltale Minecraft game that would be playable through Netflix itself and that was what those 25 people were supposedly being kept for.

Netflix probably paid a lump sum after signing a contract with the studios, the current workers at TT are not on Netflix' payroll.

There's a gold master and then there's the Activision master that is the pre-beta version sent to pressing.

Haha I wish, I was trying to give it an honest try. But I got to the first monster shooting bit and kept dying, and just gave up. I obviously could have youtubed what I was doing wrong or whatever but there's too many good games to waste your time forcing yourself through bad ones.

That video would be about spending money on The Order.

is the lack of PS3 downloading just down to the fact that that would require a native emulator or something?

Yes.
