No, no, publishers should be grateful to their developers, not the other way around. The developers make the games and are the reasons the publishers get the money. One might argue Helldivers 2 would not be what it is without Sony, but Sony would not have invested money in it if they didn't think it would bring them profits. And it did; Helldivers 2 is currently Sony's most successful live service game. Sony owes that to Arrowhead and its talent.

Without the Helldivers 2 miracle Sony would be in deep shit. Folks need to always remember that Helldivers 2 was the gaas that had less hype around last year.

Concord, Fairgames and marathon were the big ones.

I wouldn't go that far. Sony is a big company - they are not going to be in trouble because of a few failures.
Concord may have been a tremendous money hole, but Astrobot also just released to fanfare, and Sony has its feet in more than just the game industry. They own a good chunk of the anime industry, for example, and put out a lot of other tech like TVs and the like too.

Sony also extended their development years and funding by 4 extra years. The least Arrow Head can do is be professional and stop publicly putting out stuff like this. They also did it during the PSN profile link fiasco where they threw Sony under the bus, only to then find out it was the CEO that caused the delay in the first play and Sony was nice enough to grant him his wishes.

They knew from the get go where their games would land regarding platforms. They need to STFU and focus on fixing the game instead of catering to Xbox groupies.

I’m not sure the key point of that thread.

Helldivers 2 won’t come to Xbox nobody what a developer inside Arrowhead wants… it is not heir IP.

He can say it 1 million time that it is not hint or anything like that… it just a random quote from what somebody that works at Arrowhead thinks lol

There is zero power as evidence or anything like that Hellbalde 2 will come to Xbox.

You guys needs a bit of shake up sometimes.

Just so everyone is clear.
The video was upload 1 Year ago.
The people that respond to comments on YouTube/Twitter is most likely not to be the Developers themselves.
The comment was made 2 months ago by @ArrowheadGameStudios meaning it was most likely just someone that deals with socials.
All developers want it on as many systems as they can "IF" it means more sales and unless Sony get a big bag, the likely hood for it to happen drops considerably as Xbox will have to put it in GamePass for it to even make a dent in the player base.

Fucking idiots.. Can't Sony just setup a skunkworks Arrowhead and then move the IP to that new company?

This never worked out for any genre in the gaming landscape. It's never a good idea to move an IP to a new team/studio. It rarely helps the franchise to benefit from new heads.

I cant qualified on it, but what-of Call Of Duty from MOH, or TitanFall into Apex Legends? Or Deviation Games' splintering?

Sony's dumb enough to do it. Funny how you don't hear Xbox studios saying this.
This isn't a PlayStation studio though, It's a third-party contractor. But they've been rubbing me the wrong way for a while now. Allegedly, they were actually encouraging the review bombing and backlash on their Discord re: the PSN requirement. Just plain weird. Don't enter into a contract with a company if you don't want to play by their rules.

To think Herman thought Concord was Star Wars level is still shockingly insane.

Like all you have to do is compare these character designs to Star Wars & it’s easy to tell concord characters had no chance from a solely design standpoint.

It’s not even a competition
It's comparable to not only modern star wars but also marvel as both are Disney tainted shit.
