Returnal developer Housemarque, which is owned by Sony, has said it isn’t planning to make live-service or free-to-play games, not so long as people are „buying premium games.“
Studio head Ilari Kuittinen told Eurogamer, „Our philosophy is that [our games] are an experience for a certain time of your life, and you experience that within a few days, or weeks, or whatever.“
He added: „You don’t need to spend the rest of your free time with our games.“ Creative director Gregory Louden said Housemarque is „fully focused on single-player and premium“ games.
