Not into GaaS. And the Bend 'guy' blamed us for not buying the game day 1. I guess they need to make way for other studios. I would day 2 a Days Gone sequel, but that's not going to happen because game reviewers don't like bikers.

I'm not even into GaaS games or playing online. But I do understand that going forward, online games will be GaaS games that deliver ongoing content.

The same bullshitters that cry about where's the new content for online games and wondering about road maps, or that Sony should make a new Resistance with online game or Killzone with online or Warhawk with online don't understand that those online games would be considered GaaS too because of ***GAMERS***.

You're the ones that ask for new weapons and new vehicles and new maps, well got damn it, that's GaaS. Doesn't matter if there's a single player component to it. That game is a GaaS game. Get used to it.

"Well, I don't like what Sony's doing."

What? Making online games or single player games with an online component that continues to receive new content. Content that's not pay to win? Was Hell Divers pay to win? Hell no.

"But but but Sony will stop making single player games."

Bullshit. You guys know they are not going to drop making single player games. Stop speaking nonsense. You wanted them to make online games too and now you're acting ignorant that you weren't asking for it.

As a single player gamer, doesn't matter to me either way. But I fully understand what Sony's doing. Single player games that make money. And online games that have new content delivered to the game without bombarding you or forcing you to buy micro transactions.

Bend went leech. They can suck it even harder now.

I appreciate the graphics depicting various studios and the overall concept of their projects.
Feels it gives clarity on what they are working on

Evolving multi-genre is posh talk for GAAS

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
