If Sony want a big platform GaaS game they should look at MM, making a multiplatform game centered around user created content like Roblox etc. The fact that Dreams was a full price console exclusive game… not even on PC… It’s just not it.

The scary and sad part is, despite them working on a new game, that can get cancelled like nothing. It’s a flip switch.

This is a point for others to learn from, the lesson being to focus on work-life balance and to develop life outside of work and to never loose yourself in work.

Fuck, I barely buy 1 game a year now because they’ve gotten so expensive, MS is saving me so much money it’s crazy. Wish they’d buy everyone so I’d never have to buy anything anymore to be honest.
Only a fanboy is crazy enough to think that paying more for games would mean better job retention. Just wait until they raise their prices by another 10$ with smaller teams due to AI helping out.

Its funny if you look at the front page of other “era” sites youd never know about these layoffs or Studio closures or all the financial and dev issues Sony is having so far. Sony is closing a studio per year now on average. They don’t have alot of internal studios left.
MS got more negative press by letting an owned dev go independent who is still working with MS then Sony did after they closed a LONG time studio in London.
I swear it becomes clearer every day that when Sony have negative things happen the internet goes into overdrive to brush it away and move on when it happens to Xbox its a click bait fest and forum trolling for weeks all over the net. This gets exhausting repetitive and just makes you want to walk away from the gaming community so you can just enjoy some games without the outer noise of fanboys flipping their shit all the time. The hypocrisy and double standards are just so obvious its not worth even detailing.
Hell we still get drive by negative press about Starfield months after release.

I’ll never touch a Sony hardware ever again, haven’t for 2 gens now and I’m quite happy about it. The way they have nurtured this user base by treating them like spoiled childs and taking away games from the competition for too long means I have 0 sympathy for that user base as well as the console and ecosystem in general and will not support them with my money. I can’t wait and buy their games on PC on sale for 10$ when the time comes.
