PlayStation's Live-Service Dreams Crumble as Destiny 2 Legacy Fades
Sony Interactive Entertainment's aggressive push into the live-service gaming sector is facing a significant crisis following setbacks at Bungie and the cancellation of several key projects. Despite dominating the hardware market this generation, the company's reliance on recurring revenue models has proven fragile, leaving the upcoming extraction shooter Marathon as its primary remaining hope. The failure to establish a diverse portfolio of ongoing titles highlights a disconnect between Sony's prestige single-player reputation and the volatile demands of the live-service landscape.
