Oh here we go again, another Jim Ryan thread.
Just listened to Colin Moriarty go on a mini rant about some of Sony's recent transgressions and he barely scratched the surface. Thought it might be helpful to do a full list:
- Initial refusal to implement cross-play
- Abandoning E3, a far cry from the Sony that gave us PSX and The Year of Dreams.
- Trash PS5 news rollout which included months of silence and pretentious Wired articles.
- $70 games and even more insultingly, £70 and €80 ones which are well above the conversion rate. This pricing doesn't only apply to the mega blockbusters but smaller / niche / remaster releases such as Returnal and Nioh 2.
- Disdain towards the idea of playing old games and no efforts for backwards compatibility.
- Lack of PS5 upgrades for games like Bloodborne and TLOU II. Spider-Man is kept behind an Ultimate Edition paywall.
- PC ports which I personally have no issue with but I know some do, especially as we're waiting for PS5 ports / upgrades of extremely obvious blockbusters.
- Deception about the cross-gen nature of Horizon II and Miles Morales.
- Closure of the Vita store despite selling dev kits as recently as a few weeks ago.
- Everything Schrier wrote about yesterday.
Sure I've missed a lot. Feel free to add. Pretty grim eh?
