yes, people forget gaas are FUN (to their market) to a level they keep coming back after years. Destiny 1 was like that, Destiny 2 is mid and people are still there. The tlou thing was about not being years good, not about monetization.
Nice. When I think about second party I think Arrowhead and Housemarque (before acquisition), both made some of my fav ps4 games and maybe ps5 if Helldivers 2 is as good as I expect, Returnal is already up there. If they think this way about Shift up ans Stellar Blade then I'm exited.
I think this is the equivalent of 5 minutes of fame but for lawyers.
I wonder if the clients are actually paying this guy.
Do I want better prices? Sure.
Do I think sony has to pay more than what they paid for bungie to some guys who don't understand how buying things works? Hell no, lol
Arslan looked stoned the whole time LOL, he was having a good time.
And it's smart to use the evo name this way, good content for the community, good marketing for the games (that makes partnerships stronger) and the brand is present more than twice per year.
@Martijn87 I sure hope that when he finally retires is because he is healthy and wants to rest. Not sure if the doomers would survive to that kinds of news tho lol.
@B_Lindz so the 3 year lockdown didn't happen, was that just my imagination? I remember your unity comment about wanting to develop games, well not just games SOFTWARE 101: the bigger the project the more you NEED to see your teammates irl. Everything was pushed back.
It's weird that every time someone leaves the situation is treated either like "sony what's happening, rip sony" or "look at this resume sony has to pay them billions so they don't quit". Dude has been working for the same studio half his life, let him rest.
Baldurs takes everything. sea of stars indie of the year, pikmin sim of the year and i wasn't expecting spider-man to win anything but kinda crazy they put revenant for action game instead lol.
Kinda funny how people complain about something that had a very clear description since it's announcement. Guess people don't like or know how to read.
For people who are ACTUALLY interested in this FOR WHAT IT IS i see it this way. The backbone is $100, 100 more and not only you get an official product, you get a screen (i don't like to recharge my phone constantly so i only use it for communication) and the dual sense experience. That's a good deal.
Sony handheld accessory*, and yes i want one even when the internet infrastructure in my country is trash but let's call it for what it is so people interested can actually enjoy what they are buying.
They also killed the Quake pro league (yes there was one). MS knows those games are dead. Wouldn't be surprised if Halo follows next year. Only cod makes enough money to keep the giant ad that an esports scene can be.
In a world where esports are slowly dying thanks to over ambition the FGC (and EVO sorry not sorry lol) is stronger than ever.
@Nei technically the beef was sony-nintendo and ps's the child of that relationship lol. But money is money and there's lots of money there even if it's bad and they know it
@Andywax and you still can share, the ps app or downloading to your computer are still there. Not working directly with a company means the terms of use changed. Como on dude "Widen your view" lol
Given that twitter owner wants to charge for use to regular people i wouldn't be surprised if he wants a stupid amount from sony and they don't want to pay.
But we are here so: "Oh No SoNy DoEsN't cArE " about something i don't use lol.
@Ainu20 you are asking transparency to a billion company? Did Nintendo say why they launched a new update for 3ds (that kills most hacks) right before shutting down the eshop? Companies do things and it's up to you if you buy or not.
@EvenStephen7 because the owner makes the decision??? You really want to talk about sony for something they don't have reason to refuse? There wouldn't be any difference between a dlc and a game without platinum why would they be against it LOL.
@RBMango that advice probably killed their live services plans lol ... so that's good. And if you want to see the money side, Marathon will most likely make all that money back, they are too big to fail like activision with diablo, cod, wow, etc. So it isn't wasted money. They are scum tho.
So Bungie fired people because the destiny 2 gold mine is finally over and got back shares that are going to increase their value once marathon is out in the process? How convenient. Huh ... looks like it's easy to play martyr on twitter when you can f*ck your team and people will blame the new owner and it's also easy to talk trash about PS when people clearly aren't even fans and still they always have an "opinion" lol.
@TrickyDicky99 it's easy to speculate bad news over a company that has lost money so that doesn't tell much lol. You talked about two specific people in charge being responsible and only one of them was actually in charge.
@Kriandis Destiny made 500 million on release day, was the most pre ordered game of all time at the moment. Doesn't really matter if you think it's just halo 2.0, Bungie can make a lot of money.
It's funny how people like to talk sh*t but they don't seem to remember more than 1 billion of the acquisition was for Bungie to divide among the employees as an incentive.and that of course includes the guy who made this tweet.
It's also funny that this "news" implies "no one has been safe" all year when teams that have met expectations weren't touched all year. Big companies will never be the good guys but let's not pretend that Destiny 2 hasn't been a bad product since its release, with bad decisions over bad decisions way before the acquisition. The fanbase is feed up at this point and when that happens the money sooner or later stops coming.
@OnceaThief reliable source? He always makes drama about everything, sources tell facts they don't put their opinions or feelings in the info and guess what those "articles" are going to make emphasis for the clicks, the info or the opinion of a guy that knows talking sh*t brings him the attention he needs? It's not that hard.
I don't understand why people still care about what Jaffe says or not he's an attention wh*re, nothing more.
He talks about "the playstation we knew" when he knows perfectly when he talks sh*t about Nintendo the news won't say his name they will say "God of War creator" and he still does it giving the brand a bad reputation.
He hasn't been part of PS or GOW for almost 20 years, the "Jaffe we knew" died that day so stop giving a sick person reach.
Not playing right now because I'm in the middle of daily responsibilities lol getting the money to pay for games because as a developer myself I actually care about developers.
They couldn't choose a better time to make Diablo a bad product (a bad product that makes millions obviously and some of that money thanks to their predatory GUI design lol). If I have the itch for some Diablo I will play Diablo 2 at least until the release of PoE 2.
They are really desperate to save the sinking boat LOL. Come on MS use that infinite money to get "black pink". The only group that can save that trash game.
@cburg embarrassing of what exactly? Only having one big release this year and still outselling the console where you can play "the game of the generation"? Yup I guess they are under the bed right now LOL
@Shepherd_Tallon if a saudi prince comes out of nowhere and buys them there wouldn't be any changes tho, SNK is doing pretty good lol. If tencent buys them there wouldn't be any problems either.
@MasterPlayerOne so you really think all the people who already bought a ps5 to play COD are going to buy another console just to "not pay" for a game that isn't going to release until 2025?
What you "clearly don't understand" is that these guys are business men, they knew what was going to happen the moment it was announced. You don't need a degree or google to understand that just common sense, that it's clear you lack because all your answers are the classic xbot trying to be smart and I wasted my time here with some random kid 🤣🤣
@MasterPlayerOne I'm happy because they finally kicked Ryan but it wasn't wasted fuel. The acquisition was delayed for almost two years enough time for the ps5 to sell like the xbox didn't. Now it's too late for xbox to actually sell this gen and Sony has until 2027 (now without Ryan lol) to do something so the ps6 sells.
Just a reminder that Best Buy stopped existing in many countries years ago so ... of course digital is and will be bigger with time but it's the companies who are struggling with money the ones that are making these moves in an economy where nothing is cheap anymore after the pandemic.
I know people obsessed with this game that haven't use a cent in it, that's the "beauty" of gaas games, they have to be fun to their target so they come back for more.
TLOU wasn't that and now it's in purgatory and others will follow until Sony understands Bungie can carry those "plans" alone no need to make 20 of them.
