Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Larry writes: "As many of you have been with me during my career in gaming, I'd like to share personal news. Like many in the gaming space recently, I've been laid off from @Unity"
That’s some major layoffs best of luck to him and the rest that got laid off. It always hurt specially more before or during holidays.
Met Larry a couple times. Sucks to hear he got laid off. Real standup guy who just loves gaming and the industry.
Dude finally got laid at 58 years old. Bit of a weird flex but im still happy for the guy!🥂
"We see DRM as something which can make the life of a legal customer more difficult," says Michał Kiciński, "so there is no reason to keep it alive."
Actually there chance for a PlayStation portable successor. The reason that Vita support was drop is due to Andrew House decision and he believes the handheld market was dying which yes, it did effect sales but 3DS was able to overcome it and sold great enough, still selling well in the present. So Andrew House was very pessimistic and didn't try to improve marketing or listen to consumer ideas. John Kodera on the other hand is a new CEO who have experience with portable system and probably will give the system a chance, and takes notes from Nintendo and 3DS/Switch success. " Mr. Kodera joined Sony Corporation in 1992, where he was first assigned to planning and control within Sony’s portable audio business. In 1998 he was transferred to Sony Electronics Inc. in the U.S., where he was initially responsible for planning and control of various portable and mobile products, before subsequently being appointed VP of product management for IT products such as PCs."
I still buy plenty games for it,.. Wish it had a Souls type of experience (Something that I would be replaying for years) My mayor gripe is way overpriced memory cards, games,... L2/R2 and Sony not supporting it ( it is like an xbox lol)
Traded mine in for a SNES mini & I play that more than I did the Vita.
