PlayStation's former boss thinks that ballooning development budgets are "squeezing" the creative juices out of AAA game development.
Shawn Layden is no stranger to huge game budgets, having served as a senior executive at the console maker for years. Poorly redacted legal documents previously revealed that blockbuster games he'd been involved with, including The Last of Us Part 2 and Horizon Forbidden West, had budgets exceeding $200 million, but Layden now feels those huge price tags are negatively affecting how games are made.
