Doesn’t matter, they are partnerships with funding and support from Sony and likely don’t get made otherwise
Death stranding is literally using a Sony in-house engine
Phantom Blade gets funding and marketing from Sony
Remember when a timed exclusive almost killed Rise of The Tomb Raider and square had to pubicly apologize to PS4 owners?
These deals have impact. Imagine what PS2 trajectory would be like if they didn't have GTA 3 as a timed exclusive?
Of course, none of this guarantees that his latest claim is accurate, so take it with a grain of salt.
Hope it's true, all this cockroach brought was L after Ls.
I don't want a CEO who reverts back to PC ports because they are just as short sighted as Shawn Layden and Jim Ryan.

Stellar Blade was saved by Sony.

Why fund and market a game that will go to your competitors hardware
Because they get a full year of it? By the time it goes the next platforms they would have already gotten all the benefits and value from it? Are you really acting obtuse to why temporary exclusives matter?

Sony is better of spending that money of their own IP's like Jake and Daxter Resistance Killzone or Socom
No they are not! These games serve a purpose. It's about value proposition and also filling in where their own stable may not be able to.
Lol keep telling yourself that
A leaker in a Discord server is claiming that Hermen Hulst will be gone in 2027 and that a big change is coming. This is the same guy who was the first to reveal that Yotei would have a female protagonist, and he's been right about several other things too.
I won't be posting screenshots or revealing the Discord server's name because I don't want to expose the source or put anyone involved at risk. Take it with a grain of salt.

What other things was he right about?
Thank you for sharing.
He was the first to reveal that Lego Horizon was in development and that it would be launching day one on Switch. He also claimed years ago that Sony was working on God of War remakes. He's also quite close to Navtra, who had a pretty solid track record as a Sony insider before closing his Resetera account and stepping away from leaking information over concerns that his identity might be exposed.

It’s not just Ls.
Everything was totally mishandled. Nothing to show. No games released for an entire gen outside roguelite, roguelite dlc, cross gen, remakes and destiny expansions. That’s it…. VR and their online efforts megaflopped outside the helldivers fluke.
Every studio holding their dicks with no games put to market after decade long game development. Studios closed with more of that to come for sure.
It’s not just Ls. He’s responsible for institutional decay.

If this this true, what does "a big change" mean? I don't like Hermen, but we also have to careful about wanting someone new. Now that they finally stopped porting single player games to PC and focus on more exclusivity, any big changes could mean something worse than it is now.

Well for things to truly change we need Totoki gone - totoki has probably done most of the damage with sights on profitability instead of giving gamers great experiences and improving the playstation platform, Lin tao gone, herman gone, nishino. We just need people who actually want to innovate and make positive changes in gaming and for playstation, and not make anymore stupid decisions like with no more physical discs.
I just hope the next person forgets about GaaS for a while and bring the old Sony back.
