"Ex-PlayStation Exec Warns Against Exclusivity in High-Cost Games"

Former PlayStation executive Shawn Layden suggests that the future of console exclusives is uncertain due to the high costs of blockbuster games, with exclusivity being an "Achilles' heel" that limits the addressable market. He advocates for releasing games on PC to widen the funnel and attract more players, especially in the world of live service gaming and free-to-play. Layden also emphasizes the need to attract non-console players to console gaming by diversifying game offerings beyond the current popular titles.
