Sony forcing great single player developers to make live service games for PlayStation is a huge risk.

Probably not based on logic, but rather on a desire to move from single-player games (with a high investment cost, risky return depending on how well it sells and inherently limited overall return) to GaaS (where they can continue to milk the cow for years).

I suspect they are hoping they can convince single player game fans (like me) to get on board with this, which seems totally unhinged and unrealistic to me.
