I really hope this doesn't mean layoffs but who in the hell thought live service god of war was a good idea

BREAKING: PlayStation has canceled two more live-service games, from subsidiaries Bend and Bluepoint, Bloomberg has learned.

Fans have long wondered what Bluepoint has been working on for the last couple of years. I can report it was a live-service God of War game. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I really don't know what is going on with Sony these days. Feels like an identity crisis.

Console gaming in general seems to be in struggle identity crisis mode right now.

Gaming/tech industry it feels like. But Sony/PlayStation consistently has me confused

It feels like Sony is out of ideas and just trying to milk existing IP with genre du jour shoe horns

It sucks to be in this position as a consumer where you want a corporation to "learn their lesson" but that invariably leads to a bunch of people that didn't have any say in the matter losing their jobs.

The gurning spectre of Jimbob Ryan is going to loom over PS for the next decade...

I mean Kratos would pitch that.

Kratos longs for peace or death and a live service game provides neither.

live service is death with no peace

Who would even want to play that, who ever approved that dumb shit is an idiot.

If it was the thing that finally made the industry realize that shoving live-service into everything is a terrible idea, then I retroactively like Suicide Squad.
