Yeah, I forgot you own 90% of Sony shares.
David Jaffe: Sad, frustrating, potentially super disrespectful news dropping tomorrow about Playstation

Like if the best thing you can say about a team is that its games are "neat," that's just not enough.

That's on David, really.
He has a tendendcy to exaggerate stuff A LOT, post the wildest takes and do things like these with "I know something, maybe, but I won't tell it, probably. haha".
And then react like people are mad at him for no reason, as seen in this thread.
I'm not surprised people are fed up with that shit. He's the one who gave himself the rep, not other people.
Yeah, because they don't get fellated here like they do in other places - if they have the right political opinions, of course.
I prefer this place.

It all depends on that new IP they are making.
They've lost one of their big tech guys and a creative director in recent years and now they've had to pivot to a new game. If that doesn't work out or it doesn't hit milestones then they are gone.

Because the live service thing won't take off like they expected. It has already damaged ND. They paid an enormous amount of money which was not a wise decision.

Plus he barely left with solid connections for quality insider info tbh.
If it's anything even remotely serious that slipped through NDA cracks, Tom Henderson woulde've been all over it a few days ago.

I just saw karak post the other day. He just doesn't post often. He never did. Relax a bit.
On the subject I doubt it's much of anything. One of their lesser studios is probably closing.

It seems like Disney might have to make this choice soon because they've gone all-in on wokeness now and are bleeding money because of it. I don't think Sony's really gone far enough yet to affect their bottom line.

Why that would be "disrespectful"? Studios close and open all the time.

"super disrespectful" is a very strange description. Disrespectful to whom? Developers? Players? I wonder what on earth this can be.

You live in the future? You think none of their games will take off, but you have no idea like the rest of us.
They haven't damaged ND, you don't know how businesses operate. Why did Bungie damage ND? What if ND did it to themselves? What if Bungie actually helped them not release a game that would have hurt their prestige image? What if this pause on development actually makes the game see the light of day, and shocker, what if they helped make the game better?
You don't know the first thing about game development, and to think Bungie did all that by themselves and wasn't signed off by everyone in between is laughable. Stop.

Something to do with kojima would be my guess.

This is a bit off-topic:
Yeah, and those special individuals are legitimately crazy. Some people have an extremely unhealthy and strong attachment to a given platform. I get it, some of you are clearly passionate about your platform of choice, but there is a line. I recall when one dude from my camp resorted to cussing out a DF guy way back because their technical analysis video didn't exactly paint the most rosey picture.

If it's Death Stranding showing up on Xbox, I'll laugh.
If it's anything else I'll laugh as well. Nothing warrants the gloom and doom Jaffe is describing. Well, nothing more than the current situation the Playstation brand is in.
EDIT : If DS is on gampass I'll probably play through that thing for the third time.

OH MY GOD IT'S FREAKING NOTHING
Like always with Jaffe
UPD: So, she was with Sony for 34 years. And something tells me that this is a plain and simple retirement and not something malicious.

Why not ignore them, and only respond to the more thought-provoking commenters who have a genuine interest in a given topic then? While I can't claim to understand what your level of game developer fame feels like, ignoring people who don't want to have genuine conversations and just wish to argue in bad faith is a skill I had to learn, and now it serves me well.
It's always better to respond to people worth responding to, and just ignore everyone else. Of course, we're all human, and I understand that's sometimes easier said than done. I still think it's a good goal to strive for, though.

Probably something related to Naughty Dog or Bungie and the TLOU faction drama/cancellation.

While that might be sad (or not, depending on how you see sunk costs), even that won't be anything new. Things like that have always happened in the gaming industry.
Santa Monica canceled Internal 7 and delivered a GOTY-winner God of War. Sucker Punch canceled Prophecy and delivered a GOTY-nominee Ghost of Tsushima.

What time is it?
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) is pleased to announce its 24th Hall of Fame recipient, Connie Booth, Vice President of Product Development at Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). Booth has been integral in helping produce many beloved SIE titles over the past 25 years.

Once again, she was with Sony for my entire lifespan (34 years) and hasn't been involved in direct production for years. Jaffe is simply overselling Booth's retirement.

I am allowed to criticize them for wasting huge amounts of money on a sus studio. Sony is not loaded like Microsoft and I view this as a critical error. If it works out great but for now it seems like a disaster.

Sony has cancelled a lot of very matured titles farther in development than Factions and for a lot of studios that was a positive watershed moment. They will be fine.

My point is that you made up everything in your head.
Be critical, sure, but you said they damaged Naughty Dog of all studios and that nothing will work out. How do you differentiate genuine criticism vs what seems to be your own headcannon.

I'm sure she's big deal, at the same time he says he's tired of the "formula" PlayStation is using for first party, well if she's the one behind a lot of that stuff where is the change that he wants supposed to come from? She's been with the company for 35 years, she's likely not too far from retirement age anyway which kind of sucks if she's being let go now. I would assume there could be a job waiting for her in Redmond WA.
