It feels like there are so many issues with long dev times.
- hard to market a new console with few games. (PS5 pro)
- makes it impossible to capitalize on trends.
- hard to ensure new games on a routine basis
- hard to get people excited for a sequel that is 8 years out.
- hard to align your games with a TV show, with cross media being more popular.
It's kind of absurd how some of the most standout games came out 4 years ago now.
I think development has to change somehow.
