Who knows. But a lot of Woke-ish stuff has bombed lately in gaming and hollywood.

It's understandable with the big shift in normalcy the past 12-18 months any company who had worked on products for years got caught in the tailwind snapping back and now has a soon to be failure on its hands. Sunk costs and no turning back. Just release it, scrape up some money and move on.

What will be interesting is if media/gaming companies keep it going for the next wave of products that start developing now for release in 2030. If over the years, all these ultra left products and employees keep coming out it'll show nothing has changed. But if they thin out more and more as every year passes then it show companies are changing. They just need time to get past any existing WIP products and fire any off-kilter employees, if their new goal is to get back to normalcy. And that can take years.

Well they have a golden opportunity to do some real in-house cleaning...if ever was a perfect time for getting the rotten out is now..

Problem is.. I dont think they consider anything "rotten"

There's been a lot of tech firings the past year. And some companies firing did it in the 1,000s or maybe even 10,000s. Hopefully, those mass layoffs did purposely involve targeting bad political employees. But who knows.

Yes, and we are long overdue

Actually, it would be pretty epic if Yotei did something meta like Matrix Resurrections and Atsu represented an unfairly fired Sucker Punch employee who takes revenge on Hermen and co. Jim Ryan as secret boss and Mr. Shu as the wolf.

And Ken Kutaragi as a fallen legend who wanted Cell to rule the world!

The worst people work at Sony studios.

I need receipts of actions and consequences, and not just words. Words without actions are meaningless.

I doubt anything will happen besides a slap on the wrist.

Exactly. If anyone wants to make gross jokes online about murder, they can. Nobody is stopping them. Just don't expect to be able to keep your job if you're stupid and brazen enough not to conceal your identity.

And yet, it seems that there are some who just don't get it. I wonder if they've ever even had a job.

This guy probably made this post as parody, which is ironic considering he is nature's parody of what a human being is.

I would absolutely be happy if Sony just neutrally stay out of politics, like its Japanese fellow Nintendo.

But I guess PlayStation is virtually a western company and many of its employees are biased, radically biased.

No apology from Sucker Punch or Sony yet

This is outrageous
