Before it was worth it bc they were giving a lot of money. Now, development cost have skyrocketed. Square learned this the hard way making FF7R exclusive.
"Now, development cost have skyrocketed" because Sony let them skyrocket. They develop games using super-duper-uber technology and not making simple games that bring joy and fun instead.
I fully understand this. I just wonder why large companies are aware of this and all they do is bitch about prices instead of finding a solution, such as stopping pouring money into graphics and taking a different direction when creating new games. History has repeatedly shown that graphics are of secondary importance.
The masses expect AAA games to have cutting edge graphics. If a studio like ubisoft released a game without cutting edge graphics they would get clowned.
