Finally the live service bubble is popping.
I hope the developers working on these projects get put on to something else, instead of shown the door as is so often the case.
Sony specifically had to learn many harsh lessons recently.
The Bungie acquisition brought them nothing but issues. Concord being shutdown immediately after launch was a huge was of money too. Other titles under the Sony umbrella are either struggling, or gaining poor reputation due to their completely numbskull decision to enforce PSN account usage, even for single player offline games.
They need to get their head out of the clouds
I stopped buying consoles when they started charging for online.
Feels like I made the right decision.
I think the huge critical acclaim of Astrobot was also a very important lesson for them to learn. People often seem to glance over this recently.
Helldivers 2 is sweet though
Yeah, it is. And it deserved all the success it got. It was great, until Sony fucked them against their will
It needs PvP though
No it does not
Jesus lol
Yes
They also made shitty movies, on a Spider-Man license no less. Just one crazy decision after another
Had to check what movies you're talking about because the spiderman movies have all been successful. Didn't know that Venom, Morbius, Madam Webb and Kraven were actually Sony spiderman universe (SSMU) garbage and not MCU garbage.
