That's fair. I live in a town with >1 million people and of course i haven't checked all of them (probably thousands). But in my neighborhood all of them had Spider-Man/GOW/Horizon. Some are spinning with 3 ads so multiple companies can rent them at the same time. None of them were rent for Astro Bots or Concord.
And you know this is something I just can't understand. And it's not just about Sony fanboys, but fanboys of any company or product. It's complete insanity to me. Like, if these fanboys were the owners of these companies I would somewhat get it, but no. As a fanboy you should want your precious company to be good not vehemently argue that the crazy stupid things they do is positive. It's ridiculous and sad at the same time.
The moment MS bought Activision and for some reason they went panic mode and impulse buy Bungie/Firewalk etc and being gready chasing the GAAS/Fortnitr lighting in a bottle situation
I don't think you panic buy something for 3 billion dollars.
While yes, very true it's unlikely we'll see a sequel, that has little to do with RaD now being no more as Sony own the IP so they can do with it as they like, whether that's a reboot, remaster, sequel, a TV series, film or whatever.
Patreon isn't based off clicks...he's spoken pubically Last Stand makes very little on other socials where clicks matter. Go and look at their YouTube, a lot of videos have less than 15k views.
I agree. Some times you have to wonder whether or not these "hardcore fanboys" aren't deceptive astroturfers who weasel into communities and steer/disrupt the discourse and consensus through noise and confusion. We live in an age where the internet isn't just used for escape and pastime anymore. Its become a plane leveraged by large companies to manage their perception and reputation as well.
Not a panic buy but more of a desperate move.
This will be decided by the market.
Fire hundreds because their leaders failed?
Yes, I'm sure there is something to this.
I don't doubt from a business perspective Sony will make cuts or possibly close the whole studio. But it's not the staffs fault Sony encouraged poor design choices and pumped money into the studio to make it all happen. Sony Executives should be the ones held the most accountable.
Hermen Hulst could've shut this shit down after the first $100 million was spent.
I'd imagine it was after they purchased the studio. Probably the strangest decision Sony has made. Along with the acquisition of Haven Studios.
Trust me they won't.
They'll at the very least be forced to change their approach to investment in way or another. Bungie x Concord has potentially set them back $4 billion, and with Destiny 2 on its last legs, all they've got in return is toxic positivity. lololol
No big games from kwon franchises was the correct statement... so tune down the offenses or at least use factual arguments to support your bullshit
Don't give Firewalk Studios any funny ideas.
Astrobot is great .. so I can only hope the Japan HQ takes over again and in the future we can go back to great SP games.. as it is I agree with you to some extent
My personal shorthand for this is the move to "content". It's games, music, movies vs. content. Of course there have always been cynical cashgrab products in all these spaces but there absolutely has been a shift in atmosphere and I keep thinking of it as all this shit being content vs. something at least rooted in artistic expression.
That's rich coming from you
