Shawn Layden, the titular "Ex-Playstation boss", is currently strategic advisor for Tencent. Would we say that Tencent is currently adhering to this strategic advice?
It feels like the correct answer would be "no" but I honestly don't know enough about Tencent to weigh in.
the hard part is that they are partial investors in so many things. I believe they own the PUBG studio, which is the same studio that published Callisto Protocol, and that game had one of the largest budgets of all time. That's the most obvious link I could find, but also that game came out a couple years ago so who knows, maybe they are steering the ship away from big budgets as we speak.
