Take-Two's "Cheat Code" for the Video Game Business | The Motley
Companies operating in hit-driven industries like big-budget movies and video games are difficult to manage from a business perspective. A big hit or lack of one can make or break an entertainment company's entire fiscal year. Movie studios have tried to solve this problem through diversification: Release dozens of movies each year and hope that a few land.

2020 video game releases to keep an eye out for, from 'Final Fantasy VII Remake' to 'Cyberpunk
Persona 5 is, by far, one of the best RPGs the PlayStation 4 has going for it. This offshoot of the Shin Megami Tensei series practically oozed style in its first incarnation, combining aesthetically-pleasing visual elements with satisfying combat and a thrilling story.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot review: Japanese RPG feels like a Superman game - The Washington Post
Heck, ask Bioware. Its 2019 title, Anthem, got the flying part right, but couldn't figure out anything interesting to do while you're doing it. Traversal in massive open-world video games is an eternal challenge for developers, especially of superhero games. Batman has a grappling hook.
