Brian Steel gets swarmed by Lil Durk fans while leaving the courthouse following Durk being found NOT GUILTY on all counts in his murder-for-hire trial
RECAP on Sony’s downfall: Sony PlayStation’s terrible leadership under Totoki, Jim Ryan, Hermen Hulst and Nishino run the company’s reputation to the ground and lost all good-will from players🚀
It looks like I will keep updating this often:
📦Cancelled Kojima’s PHYSINT abruptly
💰Raising console pricing
💿Trying to end physical game discs
🖥️Ended PC ports for single player
🛍️Closing PS3/Vita stores
🕹️Ending second hand market
🌕Stopped support for Destiny
🎮Destroying game ownership
🎞️Removing 500 movies w/o refund
😱7 studios acquired since 2020
😡5 already shut down
⚡️Paid $4.7B to Bungie for nothing
Details:
❌Cancelled Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT, an action espionage game, mid June 2026, and the pretended the decision was amicable, while Kojima himself said it was unexpected, leading him to move it to XBOX
❌Acquired Bluepoint in 2021 and failed to let them produce a single game since the acquisition, only to shut them down in 2026
❌Acquired Haven in 2022 and hasn’t provided any meaningful updates on Fairgame$
❌Acquired Firewalk Studios in 2023 and ended up with Concord aka. the greatest disaster in gaming and shut down the studio in 2024
❌Acquired Bungie for $3.6B ($4.7B in total) in 2023, which only led to layoffs and delaying Marathon due to plagiarism and a disappointing first reveal
❌Ended support for Destiny and downscaled Bungie with tons of layoffs
❌Shutdown London Studio in 2024 am cancelled their yet to be revealed live service game
❌Shut down Neon Koi
❌Shut down Dark Outlaw as of March 2026, according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier
In addition,
🗑️The Last of Us Online
🗑️Spider-Man: The Great Web Multiplayer
🗑️Bend Studio’s live service game
🗑️Bluepoint’ God of War live service
🗑️Jim Ryan had 12 live service games planned to be out by 2026, only Helldivers II was released and succeeded, the rest were all either cancelled before release or shut down shortly after like Concord
They ruined this entire generation and the hard work of thousands of talented people for nothing.
They betrayed the legendary Kojima and cancelled PHYSINT, which was basically Metal Gear Solid’s spiritual successor
They shifted their failure onto talented studios for the egocentrism of the clueless execs.
And now they want to transfer that failure to players by:
✅Ending disc production
✅Creating a monopoly
✅Raising prices
✅Ending second hand market/trading
📀Reports from Digital Foundry’s John Linneman and others stated that there’s resentment for Sony from the industry and various studios and publishers who spoke to him.
👉Their CEOs/Execs must be fired
👉Sony must be reformed
They have lost all good will and run their reputation to the ground
NO KOJIMA 🫡 NO BUY
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Do you know how insane it is for Kojima to be this blunt about something like this?
Japanese people are very respectful, cordial, and largely avoid gossip in such a public way.
He’s always danced around the Konami stuff… but he came out on this IMMEDIATELY.
PlayStation in 2026:
- End Destiny
- End physical gaming forever
- End porting exclusives to PC
- Completely lose Hideo Kojima
- Attempt to cancel Kojima's next Metal Gear franchise
- Kojima cuts ties entirely and goes to XBOX
- Force your single-player studios to make live service games
- Concord happens
- Proceed to cancel most of them, losing years of development time and billions of dollars
- Buy Bluepoint and have them make a live-service rather than remakes
- Close Bluepoint down before they release any games
- Start selling vertical stands separately rather than have them come with the console
- Console prices at an all-time high
Genuinely... what is going on at Sony. disaster after disaster, huge L after L. They were my favorite gaming company throughout the PS4 generation but genuinely, how do you lose EVERYONE this fast? Meanwhile, XBOX is taking full advantage of this and priming a major comeback next generation. A literal generational fumble happening at Sony.
AFTER ALL THIS BULLSHIT WITH PRICE INCREASES, KILLING PHYSICAL MEDIA, AND NOT HAVING A SINGLE GAME TO LOOK FORWARD TO YOU STILL FUCKED UP A KOJIMA PARTNERSHIP???
WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLAYSTATION??? WHAT DO YOU DO??? ARE YOU GONNA GREENLIGHT ANOTHER 7 MARVEL AND GOD OF WAR GAMES???
