It's as if changes in technology allowed the studio to change the type of games they were able and wanted to make. Also, most of the people who made Crash aren't even there anymore and he identity of that studio has changed a lot over the past decade.
I'm really not going to have a back and forth with you about this because if you truly think Naughty Dog is making 12 hour linear single player games (5 in one series) just out of financial gain (because we all know that's where the money is in gaming in 2017) you're not going to be swayed.
Again, lmao.
And they just so happened to always want to make whatever was already most popular at the time?
They can't go where "the real money" is, they're simply not built for that, but their MO is as profitable as it gets considering the range of stuff they CAN make.
REGARDLESS, though... Why ARE they making them, then? You think it's passion? The games are lowest common denominator schlock as far as the gameplay goes and the narratives can only ever realistically be praised if the sentence includes "for a video game" as a disclaimer somewhere. Their best attempt at being taken seriously in that regard is just poorly written Cormac McCarthy fanfic. If this is what they WANT to be making, that is just downright sad...
