I'm worried. It's the same publisher who published Mighty No.9.

Hype!

An installment that's a Sega IP that is partially being funded by Sony is being published by Deep Silver.

Now that's a bit of a doozy

This makes me wonder if the hope and dream of getting a Shenmue I and II remaster/rerelease is all but dashed. If Sega is not involved, that worries me greatly.

you'd think sony would publish it

I wonder why Sony side-stepped this opportunity?? Or maybe he wanted to go multiplatform so the only thing Sony could do was offer press, in return for timed exclusivity..

My most anticipated game ever

Wonder if we get to be a supervisor at the warehouse job this time.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
