Sony is a Japanese company yet they want to target the Western gamer with their live service game and use a Western studio to make it. Like do they not know how often people play f2p games in their domestic market? The F2P market in East Asia is a lot bigger than here in the West. And the average western F2P player spends less money then the average Japanese F2P player. Also they keep trying to make a live service game with triple A realistic graphics which is the dumbest thing they can do. Cost too much money and doesn’t attract young and Asian players.

Like even Nintendo has success in the F2P market with Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing.
