…uld have never expected to be this bad. So now, Sony don’t even trust its own studios ? Devs have to prove they are worthy to work on new franchises ? What kind of management is this ? That’s baffling. It’s really sad to see and kind of a warning sign of what to expect. Not for the players, players will always be there, but for the devs who want to work for Sony. I think that Jim Ryan knows exactly what’s happening and instigate this mindset in the company and that sucks. Creativity must be at the forefront of developpement, always. And creativity needs trust. MS learned that lesson the hard way… I don’t want Sony to go there…Frankly, it sucks for everyone, because somehow, I still think that devs are at their best when there is a healthy competition between studios from different platforms.

Reposting my take. Maybe a fanboy view idk, but I think a weak Sony output is detrimental to the industry as a whole, as SIE has always push for creativity and was not afraid to take risks in the past. It basically confirms again that they’re just on cruise control right now, not noticing what happens right next to them. They are not losing steam, but they seem to lose sight, is how I would put it simply.
