Age of Mythology: Retold, Space Marine 2, and Astro Bot within just a few days of each other......have mercy on my wallet!

publishers might never learn.

IMO there's nothing to learn. HD2 was a massive success so what are we expecting them to learn? SP games fail all the time also but I never see people making these same sort of comments. They reality is games fail all the time being GAAS has nothing to do with it. Bottom line is, is the game fun? No, well then it's going to fail. Hell with how many good games are coming out these past two years even good games are going to fail unfortunately.

I remember a Sony exec talking about the success of TLOU and how well it did. He went on to say something like TLOU helped fun the failure of 3 other games that failed. All of them being SP games of course.  Should Sony have learned back then that SP games just don't work? No of course not.

I do agree that Sony went to hard on investing in GAAS but I don't think they should stop. I think 1 or 2 devs making a GAAS game is plenty. With the success of HD2 Sony has essentially created another massive IP. I guarantee HD3 will also do very well.
