@vicious696 They had exclusives and affordable hardware last gen and at the start of this gen, and they couldn’t shift enough consoles to keep exclusives viable. How are they going to change that now in even more difficult circumstances?
@shinobi602 Feels like it’s been done just so the new leadership can appease the online hardcore following. An easy win to get them on side, but a good business decision? Not sure about that.
@yosp @92_Phalanx I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what you said and it doesn’t hurt your legacy at PlayStation. We all know what happened under Ryan, going ‘all in’ on live service games has set PS Studios back years.
Shuhei Yoshida says he was fired from being head of PlayStation first-party by Jim Ryan because he didn’t listen to him!
“I helped Santa Monica to make God of War, Naughty Dog to make Uncharted and The Last of Us, and Sucker Punch to make the beautiful Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima was one of the last games that I worked on as the president of Worldwide Studios.
But in 2019, after 11 years leading the first-party development, I was fired from the role.
Jim Ryan wanted to remove me from first-party because I didn’t listen to him. He asked to do some ridiculous things, and I said ‘No.'”

@joesocial001@StarfieldGame@JayDook Yes, 2 and a half years ago when it was a new game. It was also on gamepass so people could play it without paying full price.
@joesocial001@StarfieldGame@JayDook the Premium Edition is £60.99 on PS5 and the game came out well over 2 years ago, they were never going to charge full price for it.
@solid_slug1984@PlayStation Yeah hopefully there’s some decent PS5 Pro upgrades. I played it at launch on Series X and it didn’t live up to expectations but I still enjoyed it.
