PlayStation's Shuhei Yoshida on Gaming's Future: No to Live-Service Dominance, Yes to Creativity.

Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation executive, hopes that the games industry will continue to support and chase creative ideas and people who try to work on new things, rather than becoming too homogenous with live-service games dominating the market. Sony has an ambitious goal to launch 12 live-service games by 2025, but it is still working on prestige single-player games that helped define the PlayStation brand during the 2010s. Yoshida believes that seeing the best-selling games list dominated by live-service titles would be "boring" for him.
