Man, development times are getting pretty crazy at this point. Hard to believe that we are starting to see decades between sequels to titles as a normal thing in the high end of the market.

It's no wonder more games are aiming for games-as-a-service style models.

Well, given the implosion in the industry due to live service games, that's not really a solution either. The actual solution is seemingly to just make smaller games, but they're not really interested in that, so they'll go out of business the first time they have a game that doesn't hit.
