I never said anything about first party, nor did I say anything about being removed from a team. Simple fact is, that whoever is working on the game, first, second, third party, tea party, or whatever it may be, could have been working on a new project instead. And if there was no demand for remasters, companies would need other sources of revenue, which I imagine would lead them to hiring Blue Point to do something else. Whether or not Sony would do that is a question I can't answer, but the fact that they could do so is undeniable. |
Then that's even more of an assumption and one that ignores that contracted studios are doing what THEY want to do, perhaps because they like the work, or because they like the pay, or maybe because it's a good way of funding another endeavor. Perhaps they'd even join the long list of developers seeking a job if it were not for this opportunity. I'm sure Sony could find someone else if they declined. Specialists exist in pretty much every industry dealing with technology.
You can add up all the "could have been" scenarios you want but it still ends up as a house of cards.
