I've NEVER seen anyone judge the numbers of any closed beta (especially not one that requires a pre-order). This is an absolute first.
so what's your excuse now that the open beta numbers are basically the same?

This dude is just defending the game just because its published by playstation, if this would have been 3rd party or xbox game guaran fucking tee he would have shit on it.
He likes Xbox games too. He bought Grounded and Sea Of Thieves on PS5.....at full price :oops:

We are witnessing how the last pieces of Jim Ryan's legacy are crumbling before our very eyes. I line that. It's refreshing to see Jimbo's ambitions being crushed. Cleanse every last bit of his vile influences out of Sony!

What has Hermen Hulst done to make you think he will do any better than Jim?

That he convinced Hideo Kojina to make a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid. A new tactical Espionage saga is everything people could wish for. Convincing the legend Kojima to return to his roots is a milestone bigger than anything Jimmy boy could have dreamed of to achieve.

The best thing now to do is just save money on marketing like xbox did with hellblade 2, cancelling the game would be better than to take a hit to brand image by launching a flop but they don't have the guts to do that.

I am surprised no one pointed out during focus group testing that these characters wont resonate with anyone unless they used resetera as the focus group, this is on top of slow floaty movement. Wasted money, might as well have bought exclusivity of a couple of GaaS games like that delta force hawk ops game.

Sony started to work on Concord in 2018, before Jim Ryan became CEO and before Hermen became head of PS Studios.

Most first party games greenlighted by Jim Ryan and Hermen are still to be released because AAA games take 4-9+ years nowadays.

Astro Bot will be one of the first games greenlighted by Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst to be released. The next one Death Stranding 2, because we don't know when they did start Lego Horizon.

Nothing is crumbling, Jim's PS5 generation is by far the top grossing and most profitable one, and highly grew their 1st party manpower and number of studios.

Alright Hideo Death Stranding is one of our worst performing exclusives we're still gonna let you develop a sequel but please PLEASE go back to stealth next.
Doesn't sound that great to me, and it's a PS6 game clearly.

Stop lying, we need to start mass reporting you because you spread way too much misinformation.

“ProbablyMonsters and Firewalk announced an exclusive publishing partnership with SIE in April 2021”. And then the studio was acquired in 2023

So under Jim and Hermen leadership, they not only signed an exclusive publishing deal but also went on to fully acquire them. But here you are now lying and damage controlling for them by trying to act like they had nothing to do with it. Because you know this game is a massive failure and you don’t want your precious corporate overlords to take responsibility 🤡

And no, a console dedicated single player Astro Bot game has been in discussions since 2013, and again in 2018 after the release of Rescue Mission. Astros Playroom was a test bed for an already greenlit game and it came out only 1 year after Jim/Hermen took office. It clearly took more than a year to make that, so trying to give them credit for that is beyond pathetic.

You don’t want them to take responsibility for a giant flop, but rush to give them credit for a success. This is why we call you what we call you.

Concord was Hermen's doing though? 💀

Astro bot took 3 years to make, which means it had to be approved after the launch of playroom
Wrong 👇
