Yep follow the money. There comes a point where it ceases to be feasible to target the mythical wider audience, and companies shift to simply trying to stop bleeding.

Either that or they can stick their fingers in their ears and "roll left and die". I guess a couple of the corporate suits still have enough sense and greed to try and keep enough cash flow that they can afford their fancy cars and nice bottles of wine. Watch for golden parachutes as they try to make their exits without taking the blame.

Then watch CEO diversity hire roll the company leftwards into whatever ridiculous social cause is trendy in 2024 that we haven't even dreamed of yet, most likely destroying the company.

Then like most Videogame companies with sizable backlogs, watch it's corpse be picked over for franchises, brand names, etc. that you have fond memories of by basically everyone, and the slew of mediocre sequels and revived studios with no connection to the original creators get hyped up with hollow ad campaigns as your inner child becomes more and more disgusted by what happened to his heros and idols and fades away leaving you dead inside.

Turn off the internet. Go play your PS1 or PS2. Remember the PlayStation as it was, as it still is, and divorce it from the modern caricature that is trying to attach itself to the same place in your mind.
