The Father of PlayStation Says Games Have Stagnated, Calls for Curiosity in Developers

Ken Kutaragi, known as the father of PlayStation, said at a CEREC opening panel that games have stagnated in terms of content, arguing the way games are made hasn't fundamentally changed since the original PlayStation. He noted the software market is valued at $186 billion, surpassing film and music, but said the industry isn't mature and still faces a turning point toward a "next stage." He urged students and industry professionals to keep their curiosity and adopt the mindset behind the PS1, which was created to "change the world."
