@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare @Max_the_German I simply do not understand this narrative at all.

The series has sold millions of copies and has great reviews. People enjoy it a lot.

If you don’t want them to make more then stop engaging with it, don’t buy it, and if it’s as crap as some corners of the Internet pretend it is, it’ll go away.

No matter how “forced” its popularity is, they’re not going to make a game that doesn’t sell.

Re: PS5 Maker Faces Lawsuit Over So-Called 'Sony Tax' on Digital Games

@ChrisDeku I suppose the theory is that if you've got a CD Keys or whatever selling digital game codes, you could potentially be able to buy a $40 game for $30 because the retailer itself offers a promotion.

Then you might get Amazon trying to price match or bringing it down to $28 and so on.

None of this happens at the moment because you can only buy the game through the PS Store.

I tend to agree, though, I'm not sure how much mileage there is in this case.

Re: Sony Is Now the Second Largest Company in Japan By Market Cap

The turnaround throughout Push Square's lifespan has been impressive. When I started the site, Sony was in an absolutely horrendous position. They were bleeding money all over the place (not just PS3) and seemed to have no direction or purpose at all.

Kaz Hirai obviously fixed PS3 and then went on to start the process of turning the company around.

As this article shows, they're now in a very, very strong position again. Really impressive turnaround which started mostly with Hirai as CEO.

He'll be remembered for the memes, but he was a really impressive CEO.
