Former Sony Interactive Entertainment chairman Shawn Layden, aka PlayStation's previous boss, reckons that gaming's "collapse in creativity" is due to ballooning budgets and risk-averse publishers.
Speaking to Raw Fury's co-founder Gordon Van Dyke at Gamescom Asia, in a panel transcribed by Games Industry, Shawn Layden looks back at his own three-decade tenure at the console juggernaut where he apparently spent "a lot more time looking at games" without asking business-hatted questions like "'what's your monetization scheme,' or 'what's your recurrent revenue plan', or 'what's your subscription formula?'"
