Currently they are hiring for a big multiplayer projectNew Wipeout Confirmed?
Wow big moves from Sony..... Xbox better lookout.
That Zenimax acquisition looks small potatoes now, eh?
Cannot wait for the mobile and GAAS future of PlayStation /S
(Hermen and Jim are the biggest fucking idiots I've ever seen run a company)
They didn't buy a publisher.Rofl
Didn't Hulst and Ryan said they are not in arms race with Microsoft few weeks ago?
Housemarque, Nixees, maybe Bluepoint and now Firespite
It sure as shit looks like arms race to me
Moving goalposts already?They didn't buy a publisher.
And don't you think that acquiring a partner you've been working with for years is organic?Moving goalposts already?
Because Ryan and Hulst told us bedtime stories about "organic growth"

calm down Bryan this is your 4th post on two pages not responding to anyone, I'm worried for your health.When Jim says organic growth.... he just means a load of shit he got from his garden.
He probably knows someone over there and just wanted to use Sony's money to make them a millionaire and guarantee himself a nice pension side number there...

They didn't say they weren't going to acquire more studios, how am I moving goalposts?Moving goalposts already?

You mean devs they fired when they closed Liverpool Studio?And don't you think that acquiring a partner you've been working with for years is organic?
I know at least one project they've been working on, and its a big first-party franchise but not Wipeout.
Yep, this is an important acquisition, not to be downplayed.Over 200 dev studio. That ain't small.
Yep can't wait for Twisted Metal

That's a ton of multiplayer studios playing games. I don't mind multiplayer if it's like Wipeout, Gran Turismo of even a fighting games. But out of the above atleast 4 are shooters which I'm not a fan of personally.
So Mr. Armchair CEO, what would you have done?Congratulations on buying Fireshite Studios.... well done PlayStation.
I have a one of those paper crowns from Burger King for you to wear!
Let the guy vent, entertaining to me and probably good for him.calm down Bryan this is your 4th post on two pages not responding to anyone, I'm worried for your health.

Not reallyAnd so the acquisition wars continue.
I wonder if it will ever stop.
There's a difference between venting and bitching. What he's doing is the latter not the former.Let the guy vent, entertaining to me and probably good for him.
OT: hopefully NO more Wipeout, never understood the games supposed charm.
