Ah. I was wondering exactly what you meant. Yup. There definitely is a market for good games, new or old. I wouldn’t make the mistake of trying to correlate that to any trend in taste for indie or corporate, other than who is giving better value and a more fun experience… try not to think like corporate execs who don’t have a fucking clue what fun is and seeing gamers as consumers.
Corporate execs may not know what fun is, but they know what makes money. Right now, everything in the computer gaming market points to new games being more expensive than what the market will bear.
They probably see the PC market as too competitive to compete in and want to invest in technology which makes new games cheaper to make. So, Sony will abandon a market it can’t make money in and will invest in a technology which can hopefully churn out assets for their new games, which will lower development costs.

So then we are back to where we started, and people need to stop buying into advertising and garbage. Line doesn’t need to keep going up.
And don’t be surprised when corporations stop producing for a platform when it no longer makes them money.
Probably a good thing
