Yeah I remember very well about how Shawn was to blame for how Sony turned all their E3's into just trailer after trailer and then how they stopped doing it altogether. They also blamed him for not doing PSX anymore in December. Now everyone likes the guy because of some quote he said about Vib Ribbon.
You forgot one. Sales don’t matter, it’s all about gamepass subscription. Then you see a thread from an xbox fan bragging how ms games were in the top 10 for the week.
I’m not whining about a $10 increase. Look in the mirror and see who’s shilling, mr banned alt.
A smart man wouldn't respond to this.
... this is in no way related to Cancel Culture. What a terrible opinion. If people can't openly complain about losing access to stuff they've already paid for then just what the hell can they complain about?
So you have no idea why killing the store is big deal for people playing those systems besides buying new stuff?
I have both and I think I've pretty much played all the games worth playing on those systems. Closing the stores, is not a big deal for me at least.
probably just show gow and horizon gameplay. that will do
You don't lose access to things you paid for.
The PS4 wasn't backwards compatible, meaning it was a lot harder to release a bunch of games at launch. Under Layden's tenure Sony's first party studios were phenomenally well-managed, which is why Ryan can coast on back to back blockbusters that have been incubating for years.
Nah you’re just whining about some guy on the internet who said something vaguely unflattering about the corporation you worship. That’s soooooo much better.
Yeah, I remember that. I was pretty harsh on them for making GT6, Beyond and GoW Ascension last gen. PS3 was pretty much done by 2013 and all those games had underwhelming sales despite an 80 million install base.
Yeah but at least it was worth it. I would pay that money now without any issues. Sony is charging 70 for a fucking remaster and a ps4 dlc
So the idea is that people are actively aiming to have Sony fail, rather than having genuine concern about the way Sony is being directed. So the OP of the thread you've referenced justifies this by saying it's what is best for the company financially, as if that should make sense to all consumers?In the real world, nobody give a shit. Game media just riding this wave right now and it's boring.
These are all traps by Sony’s enemies
So we’ve all been watching Sony getting bad rep recently for some of their decisions etc. There is narrative trying to be created that they are anti-consumer and arrogant again. But it’s all a trap, don’t be naive people. It’s a trap to keep Sony investing in areas that are useless right now...www.neogaf.com
It's perfectly reasonable to mention a significant price rise as a negative factor, "wait for it to go on discount" seems like a strangely defensive response from a consumer.
Cool, so the patches and updates that were removed are just a temporary issue, and they'll be restored in full? Because some of these games... not good without them.
And in attempting to pretend that this type of move is just standard operating procedure, you've only highlighted another issue with Sony's approach here: why isn't Sony using a shared service? Why are they stuck in the dark ages, closing stores for entire consoles to cut costs, when they've never made more money then they are making right now?
What are you talking about? Your GFWL analogy would only make sense if GFWL was the online store for an entire console. Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 still works. I can still buy games, DLC, and movies, and my games can still be patched and updated as of right now. If you wanted an appropriate Microsoft comparison, you'd actually want to refer to the Xbox Live Service for the original Xbox, which was closed in 2010. This rendered the online multiplayer components of all OG Xbox Games non-functional - including those played via the Xbox 360. However, because online digital titles weren't really a thing for the OG Xbox, it didn't make much of an impact other shutting down the limited multiplayer communities for the respective titles. However, with Sony's consoles, there are versions of them that are entirely digitally only. The owners of those consoles are now screwed completely. In comparison, Microsoft closed a service barely anyone was using that shutdown multiplayer for games few if any were still playing. Night and day difference.
My GFWL analogy is the exact same as your analogy of Steam killing games prior to 2012. I said this was silly because it actually would happen if there was a specific separate store or platform that nobody was using anymore because of a replacement. An example of that was GFWL . Where people could no longer buy games from that store and anybody who had bought games lost their digital library and ability to download. Did it stop you buying games from MS stores?
If you have a few minutes watch the first few minutes where he actually talks about why the article might feel slanted. The jist of it is that its interesting to talk about Sony potentially stumbling vs praising Sony for AAA games over and over again like a broken record.What a shit articleSlimySnake
so much nonsense when I’m seeing plenty of risky games in development with both low and high budgets.
Jeff Grubb is a known shill, too.
James Sawyer Ford
Watch the Colin podcast. He's far more harsh, but a lot of cohesive in his arguments.
