Hideo Kojima has reacted to the news that PlayStation will soon discontinue disc games, telling an audience that he’s “really sad” about the news but more concerned about what could happen if cloud gaming becomes dominant in the future.

My guy you said 1 man teams could self

I asked you to provide an example of your claim within the AAA industry and you couldn't.

Guess what, Baldur's Gate, Cyberpunk, and Doom Eternal. We're not one man teams. So still wanting on that proof.

The only thing here dense is your understanding of the game industry. Try harder man.

I asked you to provide an example of your claim within the AAA industry and you couldn't.

The goalpost you moved. I never said a one man team made a AAA game with $100M. I said an indie developer can make a DRM-free game, what's stopping a AAA dev (as shown with the AAA examples, clearly nothing other than choice).

Baldur's Gate and Cyberpunk are self published. Which is very ironic because I uhh said this earlier The only way he could circumvent requirements would be if he decided to self publish the title.

Yes, which as I said earlier:

But he owns Kojima Productions, he chose which publisher to use and agreed to their terms.

So, Kojima could have self-published. Those titles are not just 'magically' self-published, there is a choice made there.

Oh and as far as Doom goes. They didn't fully remove Denuvo until 2023

1/3 of the examples, yes. But they still did after 3 years, Death Stranding still hasn't after 6 years...

I see you are going to resort to going around in circles now though in an attempt to defend your beloved, so I am going to move on, as you'll never admit defeat. Good luck out there! o7
