Brooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Tommi84]

May I propose a ban for any future threads on the basis of this clown's tweets? Thank you

 

[SJRB]

This guy is such a goofball. You can't have it both ways, David my guy.

 

[Elios83]

More than the actual news, it's more frustrating to see Jaffe choosing to end his career in gaming development to become this kind of drama queen.

 

[Elder Legend]

What a fucking doofus. turned a fly into an elephant and turns out to be even less than a fly. davidjaffe you are pathetic, no offense.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

ban worthy

 

[Bojanglez]

Based on what he's said, it sounded like the lay-off of an OG playstation name. So my guess would have been maybe Shu is getting let go or maybe Cerny is stopping working with them

 

[mrmustard]

So it was the nothing burger.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Naughty Dog disbanded.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Just about every tech company overhired thinking COVID sales growth would permanent trajectories into the stratosphere.

If anyone wants to read about the biggest Wild West COVID rush of growth and sinking into the toilet, read up Peloton from 2020 to 2022 and be amazed at the difference in sales, employees, stock price etc… in two years.

Peloton were dumb as fuck. Even the regular guy knew once the COVID shit sat back, their business model was going to flounder. High profits, followed by an absolute mess and an unfortunate accident. It's metaphorically, pelotons "oh my god! He just fell 16 feet from the top of the steel cage!!!!" Moment.

Let's wait and see.

[VulcanRaven]

I wonder if it has anything to do with The Last of Us multiplayer project? Maybe more layoffs happen. I hope not.

 

[Calverz]

He didn't half exaggerate this "news". I'm sure he feels strong loyalty to the lady and maybe it is sad for people involved in PlayStation but to the mass consumer, it's not really a big deal.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Remember kids, Jaffe rhymes with:

 

[rofif]

Wow this is bigger nothing than I could ever imagine. wtf man.
Anything to slander ps… it's miserable

 

[GymWolf]

Tweet #1: "The Sony we all came up with is mostly dead. Sad times."

Tweet #2: "This is not death to PlayStation. Just sad."

Tweet #3: "I don't know if it is very bad for PlayStation itself."

lol.

[SplunkyMunkey]

Lots of speculation

Since the loss of Bethesda and Activision could sony be restructuring due to cost?

Since recent rumours were swirling around of sony being under pressure could this restructuring relate to a potential major buyout?

Could this restructuring relate to Jim Ryan's constant aggressiveness for gass games and failed miserably

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

man i had low expectations to what this was and it's even less than I expected.

It's sad to see Jaffe ending his career like this tbh.

 

[THE DUCK]

Weird. Can't just be a layoff, most gamers won't react to that. Here's my guesses:

- renaming playstation to X
- ending physical games by 2027
- some sort of big acquisition or merger with another company that sucks

 

[L*][*N*K]

"Babe I have a massive dick, by Chinese standards" type of news.

 

[Heisenberg007]

People were praying ND was going under.. Just sad lol

Naughty Dog has a hold on people like no one else. It is one of those studios that defines a console generation, and they are so afraid of ND, always has been. It's so funny.

 

[Skifi28]

Pretty much what I expected. Ban all threads about "insiders" farming for clicks and drama.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Nothing burger, how typical of Jaffe.

 

[Heisenberg007]

To summarize:

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Thought Jaffe was better than clickbaiting his followers. Guess not.

 

[THE DUCK]

Yikes, talk about a nothing burger. What a massive oversell, mentally noted news from David to be ignored.

 

[AALLx]

Jaffe was right, that does feel disrespectful.

It was a disrespect of people's attention span over non-news about nothing. By his tone you'd think Jim Ryan slapped Cerny across the face. What a drama queen.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[demigod]

Thought Jaffe was better than clickbaiting his followers. Guess not.

Just remember folks, people PAY for this shit.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

I think this Jaffe guy is probably mentally unwell.

 

[Revolutionary]

Love Jaffe's past work but jfc Twitter has turned him into something else...

 

[Barakov]

Who?

 

[kruis]

Here's GAF collectively saying ...

This is the first time I heard her name. I have no idea who she is, why she's important and why this is a blow to Sony Corp.

Like someone said here, if this were a GAF poster, he'd be banned for stringing us along for a huge nothing burger of a story.

 

[BootsLoader]

 

[FunkMiller]

Desperation for social media clicks and engagement turns people into absolute idiots.

Fine to comment on a firing like this. Not fine to rile an entire fan base up beforehand.

 

[Hibs]

Chill dudes. If you were a member of his squad you could have watched the member only video and not been hyped up to this big disappointing news he dropped.

Also to the actual news of whoever the fuck he's talking about

 

[jm89]

It's that time of the month.

Jaffe needs some attention.

 

[ByWatterson]

 

[GymWolf]

Guys I'm very important and I still have lots of connections, I'm not just some washed has-been who smokes weed and plays video games on story mode on streams that nobody watches! I have very important and distressing news! Not for you, my peasant follower, but I have it, because I'm very important.

You should open a yt channel like that jaffe dude.

 

[ozz ex machina]

I wouldn't really say this is awful or the "death of the Playstation we know".

I'd welcome it. Those naval gazing twerps pissed a lot of resource on dreams which was - as I said the entire time - never going to be what certain hypelords thought it would be.

 

[Caio]

Sony is preparing for new layoffs in its staff. It's a condition that has been raging throughout the gaming industry for many months, so what the big deal ? There will be further corporate overhauls for PlayStation Studios, probably a way to restructure and optimize everything.

 

[Nankatsu]

So it's nothing?

 

[Lord Panda]

From the way this was hyped up, I thought Sony was releasing Hamas themed panels for the PS5 or something

 

[Z O N E]

Her output is actually... kind of fucking insane.

IF she was told to leave because of the push towards GAAS games then that is quite the loss to be honest. I kind of hope she's picked up at Xbox after seeing that portfolio she has. Lol

 

[Hypereides]

I'm honestly not too thrilled if some Guerrilla guy, probably by mandate from Hulst, is stepping in to be in an advocate for SIE's future franchises. Hermen Hulst's direction has already left something to be desired. While Guerilla has done some good and hard work, Hulst was never the appropriate choice to be the creative head of SIE's studios to begin with.

 

[phaedrus]

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

It took some posters less than an hour to not knowing who Connie Booth is to doomposting about the future PlayStation.

Brilliant.

 

[Zheph]

Not Connie man, not f*cking Connie!!

Not collective GAF, I know who she is, in fact, I'd be shocked if many more didnt know who she was because she has been a part of PlayStation forever (she was the one who initially asked Insomniac if they wanted to make a Marvel game)
