Without assurances? And your examples are Street Fighter 5 and FFVII Remake? LOL. Two huge games that were going to be made with or without Sony's money. If that's the case and you need assurances, why isn't EVERY third party game a (timed) exclusive? You make no sense. Why wasn't Elden Ring exclusive? Didn't Bandai Namco need a assurances for a huge AAA game like Elden Ring? How did they manage not to go exclusive?!
Damn, you are naive.
Your post is kind of all over the place with some whataboutery thrown in for good measure.
I've done my best to explain how it works and benefits all the parties involved multiple times now. If you look on a smaller scale at some of the quotes various developers have said about GamePass and how it's helped them go forward. Maybe you will get it with SE and FF7R but obviously on a much bigger scale.
What I find most fascinating is where you expect the money from Sony goes.. in your head it doesn't go towards the hugely expensive production costs? It's a naïve way of thinking but ok.
I'm beginning to think you believe they had totally finished the game and then sold the rights. You would have a point if that were true.
