As part of the ongoing Microsoft vs FTC court case, Sony provided documentation detailing confidential information about its PlayStation business. As is custom, key details in this documentation were redacted. At least, they were meant to be.
Thanks to the retrospectively poor choice of using a Sharpie marker to redact the key information, it's easy to see the contents of these redactions now the document has been scanned.As you can see in the image below, this documentation revealed that Horizon Forbidden West cost $212 million to develop over five years between 2017 and 2022, with 300 employees attached to the project.
Meanwhile, fellow PlayStation exclusive The Last Of Us Part 2 cost $220 million to make, with an employee count of roughly 200.Another piece of Sony documentation claimed that one million players spent 100 percent of their gaming time solely on Call of Duty. This second, similarly poorly redacted exhibit, is a letter from Sony head Jim Ryan to the FTC .
The court tried to remove the affected exhibits from the case, but it was too little too late. The damage has been done.
