Incredible how immediate and drastic Jim Ryan's negative impact on Sony was. Dropped them right back down to 7th gen in one fell swoop.
Fuck Hermen Hulst too while we're at it.

I hope people actively give him shit in public wherever he goes for the rest of his life.

I wish I could shit on game companies more but literally every media company is incapable of making anything now. It takes 4-6 years to make 8 episodes of television and there's no reason it should beyond a managerial class that is both wildly egotistical and completely useless

- buy a dozen companies

If executives were soulless husks purely motivated by profit and made decisions purely based on metrics things would actually be better, but CEOs aren't even that. They're all complete fucking morons who lead based on vibes, and will torch the company they run before admitting their strategy was bad

Herman Hulst set Playstation back so many decades on the stupid 10 live service gambit - genuinely one of the dumbest decisions we have seen in gaming which is impressive given how polarising Xbox has been with its key IPs, they just decided to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

Sony is so fucking washed holy shit. There is no hope.
BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.
A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

roguelikes are kinda like the service game of the indie/small scale gaming scene
- massively saturated market
- 99% can't compete with the production values of the top tier
- growing cohort of people inherently opposed to the idea of them
- if yours hits you win the lottery so people keep trying

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

they should have all the edgy shit because that is the identity of those games. But they won't, because Sony are a bunch of bitch ass cowards that will under no circumstances ship something where the protagonist is just a wildly unlikable asshole (deliberately, anyway)
The God of War Trilogy is getting a Remake. But the question is how 1-to-1 will these remakes be, and will they include the sex minigames? And should they?
