Feels like an omen for what’s to come for this game. Hope I’m wrong…

Looks like the PC Version of Stella Blade is being blocked by Sony’s PSN Policy in 130 countries.

really ?

This is the regions listed as being blocked, since PSN does not operate there and it is against their Terms of Service to create an account if you’re in those regions.

What a mess. I wonder if they will pull a HD2 and just self-publish going forward.

Man, it just feels like we’re gunna see bungie and Haven closed next year. It’s like every dev is basically one bomb from closing

In its defense, releasing in that month was a tough choice.

They made a dumb move having a publisher like Sony that saw the game as an exclusive. Plenty of third-party publishers that would have published this game as a multiplat. I certainly hope they learn and get their IP to another publisher. Sony’s exclusivity has killed so many studios.

I think games sales at these high prices are just not moving. My bet is if Game Pass keeps this barrage of games up it will end up cornering the market.

Don’t think Bungie will, although if Marathon fails (and I hope not, I’m actually really interested in the game), I think I could see Sony laying off quite a bit of people at Bungie and focus exclusively on Destiny 2 or a new Destiny game.

As for Haven, unless they strike lightning twice and have another Helldivers level of success, I feel like indeed they could definitely be on the chopping block. Have Jade Raymond leave at this point in time isn’t a good look.

Don’t know what this game is or was I guess, but I find it crazy timing on how more devs are bailing on extraction shooters. Bad timing.

Been watching this playthrough since day one and it’s awesome. A father and son. He’s 70 and he plays and finishes Dark Souls for the first time and it’s so great to see how he improves over time. I finished Souls 1 and 2 but never learned to parry, in a few tries he manages to do it and the patience of him is through the roof. He may be a newcomer but I learned things from him. Very cool to watch, very wholesome too. His son coaches him here and there, but never ā€œbabiesā€ him.

Oh and it’s his first game too. The first bit is about a speed runner though.

Yeah. I’m still sad about Volition. I thought Saints Row '22 was a good game, but even if it wasn’t, one miss shouldn’t be enough to doom a studio with a ton of history behind them. Even great studios can make one bad game. But nowadays it’s like all the chips are on the table with every single release.
