I understand why Sony would stop funding AA creative games and focus on AAA games instead. Their AA games don't really sell that much to warrant funding since they only release on Sony's platform.
Instead they should just buy (or fund*) AA games from 3rd party developers and put them on PSNow day 1. These games made by 3rd parties have the luxury of releasing on all platforms including the Switch. They have wider reach and less of a risk. The Sony talents from Japan Studio have now created their own studios. And there are a bunch of developers making AA games of different kinds and genre. Shopping from their output is a better strategy than Sony funding their own AA development using their own studios. Buy the rights to put on PSNow Day1.
(Before you @me, I've been a long proponent that Sony should release AA games day 1 on PSNow occasionally, but keep it $60 or make it PS+ Premium higher tier bundle.)
*fund them with an agreement to put the game on PSNow Day1 but they can release on other platforms or something similar of a contract, there can be variance but the idea is that these games will release on all platforms so the games can survive and less of a risk.
Then, focus on AAA games. All Sony Studios focusing on making the next GOTY caliber is the way to go. Keep the distraction of the process of making and marketing a AA game away.
