    Playstation Sony’s stock value drop by about $10b after lowering PS5’s sales forecast for the fiscal year, analysts question near decade-low profit margin

    Man, you know Disney is literally getting sued right now over their DEI policies, right? Like, it was just announced. You are really misinformed.

    I'll give it a shot once I finish Granblue Fantasy, I just started that one. 😁 Oh, and after FFVII remake part 2. It's a good month. 😁 It sounds like I wouldn't be able to play it even if I wanted to though. 😛

    It's not one, it's multiple vetted sources, multiple animators reached out to them after their Wish review mentioned how mediocre it was. What happened at Disney was nasty, really nasty and no wonder things are going badly for them. They are actually doing a series of reports based on their...

    Wow, the success of this just came out of left field. I'm not even a multiplayer kind of guy, but I'm thinking of giving this a try.

    Yeah. It's tough to not get too much into the actual politics of it (because the conversation can get very unpleasant and very away from games, I get it) but they are affecting games, in both production and narrative, so it's tough to know the line. @thicc_girls_are_teh_best yup it's true...

    No, those only do recruitment, the cost from DEI comes from multiple factors: 1. the actual new recruits. This means that if a company goes for whatever internal target of representation, they have to go through recruitment sprees. Each new hire is a significant cost. 2. Production pipelines...

    DEI is a huge cost driver, look at Naughty Dog's productivity falling through the floor due to it. I don't care if you like it or not, we are talking about costs.

    Playstation Sony’s stock value drop by about $10b after lowering PS5’s sales forecast for the fiscal year, analysts question near decade-low profit margin

    Accusations of political leanings are useless. I'm looking at both GAAS and also DEI as drivers for increased cost. Why GAAS? Well, it's obvious that a huge production pipeline that doesn't release anything amongst multiple studios is going to result into enormous costs. DEI adds useless...

    That's incredible, only 6% margins?! With so much of the distribution being digital, I wonder why they are so inefficient. They mentioned production costs rising, are they related to DEI? Their chasing after games as a service is definitely felt because there's barely anything releasing, and...

    Discussion According to Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt, Helldivers 2 sales are around a million right now. We are blowing through estimates.

    I mean, Square Enix could benefit in the sense that their productions are not very consistent in their output, even if their games are mostly enjoyable. They still come up with bangers like FFXVI and FFVII Remake. However, I'd be afraid of more Forspokens if Sony got more involved, I am kind of...

    News Incoming announcement on Xbox titles future exclusivity and publishing

    You always hear sales milestones of any product or service, even if it's private. I'm not saying the Steam Deck isn't cool, it is a cool little thing. But to go from that to saying Windows will become irrelevant because of a handheld that sells about a million a year? I don't even have words to...

    Discussion Sony have no plan to release any major (established) franchise titles this year (April 2024- March 2025)

    Because you are spending way too much time, money and effort into bad quality parts, used GPUs or underpowered ones, you deal with way more driver issues, more bugs and yet all you get in return is a crappy substitute of a PS5. Of course, it makes sense if you want it mostly for pirating...
