We'll just have to wait and see how everything goes. Eurogamer loves writing dire articles about PlayStation though, and glassdoor reviews aren't the most reliable thing in the world.
Sony studio Firesprite has been shedding talent amidst accusations of toxic culture, staff say

The point of buying a game development studio is to get games developed by them.
Firesprite got acquired in 2021, they released their first game as Sony in 2023 which was last year and is one of the most important and best looking VR games. I don't know what you are talking about regarding low output.
MS already did, and were told to fuck off.

Guess the rumors of this few months back was true they were struggling internally. What a mess.
All Hermen's Fault. If only he actually visited studios instead of boozing and on his endless vacations.
This studio will def be shuttered

Crazy part is there’s a lot of people from Psygnosis at Firesprite which Sony shut down/folded back in the day

Also buy Arc System Work great studio that’s been making fighters for PS & PC for a long time & had great reviews by the FGC community
IMO there's way too many emotional knee jerk reactions to things lately. IMO, the best thing to do is keep a level head and see how things play out.
Jim Ryan wanted to rebuild a powerhouse London studio and I think he somewhat championed for this acquisition, but it's clear internal structure wasn't strong enough to turn them into the England Insomniac
Don’t forget Arc system work.
Can you imagine Tencent buys Kadokawa, Saudis buys Capcom & MS continues pushing full 3rd party eventually day n date on PS & Nintendo & buys Square Enix so no regulator can block MS acquisition of publisher that would be a dagger to PS heart which they wouldn’t survive PS future is looking spooky I can’t lie they’re moving like rookies. Sony is dumb for not locking these studios/publisher that been partnered for a long time instead they wasting money on these no name no ip no cadence studios.
Gee I wonder why it's Eurogamer article said no one ever. Their hand wringing can be seen miles away just look at the telltale signs of SonyToo narrative spread out in the article to further wrong Sony acquisitions narrative!
Firesprite struggling while Hermen out there sailing on his yacht and surfing on vacation every day
Get Hermen out, he's absolutely useless

You guys get in your feelings and say this every other day. This forum is a broken record and it gets old.
What was the magic of Firesprite? They made a VR game with Sony and that's it. They could disappear tomorrow and nobody would care like London Studios.
Firesprite is in Liverpool, not in London. It's a different studio than London Studio.
And yes, Firesprite has a lot of people. I was already big when acquired and later grew even more.
