Former Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios chairman Shawn Layden said some fairly correct things about the modern style of "AAA" game and the costs associated with said style.

Stating his preference for shorter games with tighter campaigns, Layden suggested the lavish thirty-hour "AAA" game just isn't sustainable. He's not really wrong... but it's an issue the industry could easily correct if it cared to.

Unfortunately, most major publishers really aren't interested in changing things. While what they're doing isn't sustainable, it's making an incredible amount of money right now, and short-term is the only way these companies think.
