or, Jimbo and Hulst pushed her with GaaS garbage and, she as SP girl, couldn't make it work.
beyond good and evil 2 is an ubi game I don’t see the connection and EA specifically said in their last quarterly reports they were moving away from many licensed games and focus on original ip and gaas that’s why they cancelled Star Wars projects
What do you mean? Connie was never pro GAAS, look at the games she's associated with and pushed for, it's all single player games. From Crash and Spyro in the 90s to TLOU2 and GoT to 2020....
especially from someone who has very little GAAS experience...
Connie worked on a lot of both GaaS and non GaaS titles. Her work wasn't related to greenlight games, decide the monetization method of the games or the strategy of the company. She was an executive producer (late vice president) of product development in SIE America.
Something doesn't match in that theory: she already was working on most of these GaaS before Jim and Hermen got their positions. Plus she also worked in many more SIE had released before that. Most of the known games greenlighted by Jim+Hermen aren't GaaS and they cancelled several GaaS.
A couple weeks ago there was an Ubisoft Barcelona related event for the women day, and they had a big banner with several female characters from recent Ubisoft games where they did work like AC or R6S. Two of them were from BGE2, meaning they continue working on it.
Same here. Hopefully helps EA to make great games again and keeps the focus away from the greedy practices.
This theory makes a lot of sense. Maybe EA saw that they are performing great in terms of money, but in terms of quality many of their games suck or are stuck in the past, and fail whey trying to move new IPs.
Im not even suggesting poached. Perhaps like you said EA wanted some quality control so Sony sent her over there for marketing agreements or just to keep tabs on them "just in case" is what i mean. ABK deal closes, Sony becomes more tight with EA? Its mutually beneficial for both.
That's possible too.
Connie was tasked to take over new GaaS initiatives like Factions, Concord, Haven, London Studios and so forth... She was fired, she didn't quit.
I just saw that in October 2020 she was promoted (by Jimbo/Hermen) from VP of product development to SVP, head of internal production. Which means she became in charge of the production of all Sony games since then, obviously both GaaS and non-GaaS. She is credited as such in Spider-Man 2 or TLOU2 Remastered.
I don't see the point in including single player games greenlighted prior to the European Coup that happened Under Jim Ryan since those were set in motion under a previous team with Connie already being involved. They absolutely put the GaaS initiative onto her. It's pretty obvious to tell when someone is fired or forced out from PlayStation lol.
