Ex-PlayStation Lead Criticises Chasing Hits Over Passion

Original: Ex-PlayStation Lead Says Too Many Devs Are Trying To Make “the thing that they think is just going to hit” Rather Than S

A former PlayStation executive has criticised game developers for chasing commercial hits instead of making projects they genuinely care about. Speaking in an interview, they argued too many studios try to build "the thing that they think is just going to hit", warning that this mindset produces derivative games rather than original, memorable work.

Why now: The industry is under scrutiny over risk-averse, trend-chasing development, so blunt criticism from a former PlayStation insider resonates.
