You'd hope so - it's the only way forward.
Stadia deserves nothing less, it's a disgrace.
Fighting the good fight Ted - going after an Indie company that clearly made a mistake and has gone out of their way to rectify it.
But NMS isn't Sony - just a small dev that got caught up in it's own hype.
Burn them at the stake. Give it up pill, go after someone that can actually take a loss or 2.
Here's a little list to get you started -
Microsoft
BETHESDA
BLIZZARD
EA
So like Sea Of Thieves then? A game made by an premier studio within ms. But that game is better now isn't it?
Do you hold BETHESDA to the same standard to you? Or does Todd Howard get a pass?
Check your 'anti-consumer' buzz word at the door champ.
darth - Of course you'd say that, knowing full well where Cliffy would fit in.
TedCruz - I reckon Tim Sweeney had a a little hand in those too, except Gears. But you're right, but that it gets you so far - and as others have said Cliffy rags on other people's work.
That's pretty low don't you think?
He tried getting on the good side of PS4 owners and found we weren't as easily fooled as others.
<...
fewDankmemes - what about GTA4 DLC? They paid $50million just for that, only to continue to be outsold be PS3.
Another sound investment from ms - too much money, not enough cents.
Shinox - nah it's good a thing, it will sell best on PS console anyway - other consoles should just be glad they get to play it.
GamerRN - welcome to gaming mate, you obviously haven't been here long.
That has to be the worst prediction I've seen in a long time. Well done buddy.
FF7 Is going to be MASSIVE - I'd say 12 million is attainable on PS4. And lifetime sales across all platforms 25+ million.
In the real world ms doesn't give their studios the teen light for new ips. And by extension their customers new experiences.
Do you know who does let their studios create new ips? I'll let you work it out, its an easy one.
Sony had a nice supply of new ips and quality sequels AND remakes throughout the whole gen.
So yes - if Sony say it's a good idea to close a studio, then that's what's best.
They know what they're doing, have they let PlayStation gamers down? Never.
Small team, big ambitions, some terrible luck (they got flooded remember) and over estimating the games release state.
In spite of all of that, NMS has made great strides to correct the wrongs of its past.
Why big tech is failing big in gaming in 2020 - that's a more appropriate title for you article. Google will be first to go, they don't stand a chance against next gen. They can't even compete now.
Because their greed outweighs their passion, they're only in it for one thing. Nothing more, nothing less.
Of course it makes sense - it's the execution that doesn't. Talk about shooting ones foot, BLIZZARD lined up both barrels. Absolute disaster.
LoveSpuds - The perfect fit for a certain company, mmmm whomever could I be alluding to?
Darxyde - Jaffe is opinionated, is sometimes pig headed - but he also created two of PlayStation's early hits - Twisted Metal and God Of War.
He deserves a little bit of respect.
The numbers would be disastrous, I wouldn't mention it either.
Havik - sorry if I upset you mate, sticks and stones and all that. Harden up butter cup they're just words.
I just enjoy replying to known antagonists relishing in what they perceive to be bad news.
While it isn't great news, it's not half as bad as some are making out - Sony, Herman and SWS know what they're doing.
I continue to have full confidence in their vision.
Obscure - I ain't spinning anything numb nuts, it's their decision and I respect that.
Evolution shit the bed BIG time, Guerilla Cambridge had run it's course and Rigs underperformed, this is just another closure that while not ideal - is seen as the best way forward for SWS.
And my confidence is bolstered by the appointment of Herman - I've had a great deal of respect for him since he joined Sony.
...and certain graphic settings that were once part of WC3 are turned off and only accessible if you buy WC3: Reforged.
Such a scumbag company.
