This is the first PR shitstorm in a while that Playstation isn't just going to escape.
There have been over 1M Daily Active players since Monument of Triumph. For over 2.5 weeks.
Destiny 2 isn't a failed/dead game like other failed GaaS titles. Declined yes. But popular.
XBOX series X was allowed to be marketed as the “most powerful console” before the Playstation 5 pro launched for a reason. The game will play the same, if not better, on Series X than a base PS5
Before this conversation starts truly forming a narrative that Microsoft is a terrible company for letting go of these developers...
I want to help people to understand this visually in terms of what Sony's rumored layoffs would look like versus Xbox's.
Even if all three are closed laying half of bungie will still be more people laid off by Sony than MS.
Context obviously matters but I just can't wait to see if the same grandstanding against "ruining gaming" happens when it's Sony's turn.
If it's true that Bungie will lose 400 staffers, that's more than Ninja Theory, Compulsion, and Double Fine combined.
Before you consider the tons of other studios closed over the last few years ...
What's the solution here?
If this is true, I am soo happy omd. Actually really liked Avowed, so a second one would be awesome.
Hopefully Obsidian has also started work on a Fallout game, since Bethesda is not gonna make one this decade.
Greg Miller take on Xbox today was fanboy slop and shows how clueless he is.
• The problem he talked about with the market for Ram and Chips also applies to Sony, but moreso because they have to secure many more chips that Xbox due to demand
• ASHA reversed CoPilot and every company is going to use Ai in development moving forward
• ASHA mentioned it’s not feasible for them to sell 1000 dollar consoles
So @GameOverGreggy can you at least do a little research when you tell @satyanadella to eat a bag of shit. Can you also have the same energy when Sony has its upcoming layoffs? Or is that a hard ask when you take Sony consoles to bed with you at night like you did with the ps4 🖕
Since 2020 these companies have shut down these studios…
Embracer - 44
PlayStation - 8
Xbox - 4
Ubisoft - Around 5
Something needs to change, there’s an industry wide problem
Blaming Game Pass is a copout, lazy & not the problem, and wanting Xbox to shut down is childish
In a bad situation, this was the kindest thing @XBOX could have done. Gives Ninja Theory the most chance of living on, while Xbox gets to course correct on what it wants to focus on. Hopefully, it worked and there are investors out there interested in funding a independent NT.
Xbox revealed Ninja Theory’s ‘Senua’ title at their showcase in hopes that investors would be interested in purchasing the studio before they shut it down

@wiggy_niggy@CyYuVtuber@Escaflowne2001 Atleast I play the game I care about. Unlike these people crying about a studio closing while not playing the games they put out.
@jxcn1717@ManaByte Yes, they do. Ninja Theory having some value isn’t a bad thing for MS, especially if there is a buyer for the studio. Or, MS will go into a publishing deal with an independent Ninja Theory, if there is interest in Senua. Those are also options that are still on the table.
@reece_us@MrKrisSteel Ninja Theory also released a AAA game that nobody bought nor played via GP. SoD2 was a big AA success (both in sales and GP hours played) so thats a big difference.
@people311887@FuuTop1 No they aren’t lol. SoD2 was a success (both in sales and hours played via GP), unlike Keeper, Kiln and Hellblade 2. SoD3 is one of the most anticipated Xbox games coming out so its safe to say they’re just fine.
@asha_shar Sell Double Fine to Nintendo and trade Ninja Theory for Bungie with Sony.
Quit development on Marathon and put that team on Halo and get Destiny 3 greenlit.
@bentoboy83@TropicalMaku@thebluecaboose_ I do agree that that’s a problem, but the rumours are that they are still negotiating their independence so we don’t know if they are being closed or not. I hope for them all they can go independent, and that the devs keep their jobs.
@CyYuVtuber@Escaflowne2001 Actually, you had time to play Kiln, you (like everyone else) simply isn’t interested in it enough. If you have time to play other games, you had time to play Kiln.
@PlaystationBrah “PlaystationBrah” should probably look at his own console first. Sony has closed more studios than Xbox and is failing one of the most successful IP’s in recent history as we speak.
