Proof of concept only gets you so far. Indie animation relies on people actually putting their money where their mouth is, which they rarely ever do. Unless you're doing Hazbin or Digital Circus numbers, very very few other indie animations ever get over the starting line.

Sadly that's often not enough. Olan Rodgers, creator of Final Space, created a new indie pilot called Godspeed. With a Kickstarter to fund the rest of a first season.
They needed $600k to make one (1) more episode.
1.9 million views on YouTube.
Kickstarter made just over $300k.

But even those are often in excess of $250k per episode. That's assuming everything goes perfectly to plan and no issues arise. Which is unlikely, and would still rely on volunteers, or people getting paid below minimum wage just out of sheer passion.

The vast majority of animation costs millions upon millions of dollars a season. Often $2+ million an episode for 22-minute episodes.
Indie animation gets by on far, FAR lower budgets because of the efforts of a lot of volunteer work, and the fact they can spend months upon months on one episode.

I'd be fine with it being a city environment if they actually made it feel like a city. Densely packed and vibrant with little details. It just looks so flat and lifeless.
Anyways. Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition releases in a few weeks so my money is probably going that way.

Things like the reworked PS+ with PS1&2 games was largely as a result of Sony shareholders demanding the company respond to Xbox's back compat program. Same with PlayStation exclusives finding their way to PC. Shareholders wanting a response.
That's what's keeping it from being a monopoly

As long as Xbox don't concede, PlayStation still have to put some modicum of effort into their own products and platform.
Xbox obviously aren't doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. They're doing this because it makes them more money. But a PlayStation monopoly is a potential side effect

To clarify, it means PlayStation would have the ability to dictate who, and how, 3rd parties can release games.
"Where else are you gonna release on? Nintendo?"
Nintendo and PlayStation have difference audiences from one another. PlayStation know that.

They still have a console and a platform therein. If they fully concede, it leaves a power vacuum with no one to fill it. Which would give PlayStation an ungodly amount of control over how people, including 3rd parties, use their platform.

The creatives are paid, often not their fair share but still, the full amount they're ever going to get paid before the movies ever come out. The only people who benefit from the final profits are the executives at the top.
Cancel your Disney+ subscription yesterday. Stop supporting them.

It even premiered only a single day before Blue Eye Samurai. Given they were both distributed by Netflix, it's safe to say Netflix sent one of them out to die. Take a wild guess which one :/
