Insiders, outsiders, everyone knows at this point.
You can’t make these insanely open world games with hyper realistic graphics on a reasonable budget or in a reasonable amount of time. Games take too long and cost too much to make. Too many eggs in the basket.
I remember being struck playing TLOU2 by just how damn long it is. I would’ve been happy with half the playtime and paid the same price.
