the reality of mankind we always blame our own shortcomings on anything else, it makes it so much easier, for example before games it was tv, before tv it was radio, you get my point, humans are flawed by nature the sooner we all realise that the better
rip lil baby, the girl should have got more help than antidepressants:(:(

"Teenage mother tried to suffocate baby after its cries interrupted her Playstation time"

Lets erase the last two words because the context really does not need gaming in there at all to get the full picture

Let's try again without blaming something in an irrational fashion:

"Teenage mother tried to suffocate baby after its cries interrupted her..."

Now we have a sentence that tells the true picture...gaming did not guide her hand to the baby's throat...she did.

Cray bitch, end of story. Now I'll continue some more HARMLESS gaming in Batman AA...

It's people like this that give creationists ammunition to debunk the theory of evolution.

Under a regime of my choosing, these people would be culled.
Sadly, but unavoidably, their children would also be destroyed, if you think it's a sorry state now, wait until THEIR children are in their teens.

These people are holding back our evolution.

She is probably some crack ed skank bitch who was playing her ps2 whilst off her face

The Telegraph posting sensationalist headlines they can't back up isn't that new.
they're the broadsheet version of HHG

People definitely need to be held accountable for their actions. The world we live in today doesn't seem to want to accept personal responsibility as a reason for anything. It's always about blaming someone or something else.

As a parent i condone her and i hope the child gets adopted by a loving couple. Its infuriating to see people having kids that do not have the capacity to care and nurture them. Damn the media for making it look like another "Gaming is Evil" article.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
