Connie Booth Leaves PlayStation After 34 Years. Angie Smets, who worked at Guerrilla for 20 years would be taking Booth’s role.

Seems like a pretty intense FUD campaign right now.
I see it that way too. It's certainly no coincidence that the usual suspects are particularly loud again for the Spider-Man 2 release. I'm just surprised that no Bloomberg article has appeared yet. It will definitely come when Sony publishes its business figures.

I now avoid forums and social media more and more. When I was young, I bought video game magazines and then the games that I liked. Today we no longer primarily talk about games but rather just the people behind them. This now reminds me of fans of sports clubs who only discuss players and those responsible at every game of their team instead of seeing sport as entertainment. It's no wonder that more and more developers and those responsible are withdrawing. In the old NeoGaf days, many people from the industry still wrote there. Today it would be unthinkable.

Jaffe will always have my respect for what he did as a game developer. However, the man's no longer making games and his shtick at content creation isn't worth watching.

This place is turning into Resetera where people just find any garbage they can about Sony and blow it out of proportion and take every thing as fact regardless how garbage the source is.

Might have to stop coming here too

I’m pretty close myself, its clear there are people here posting all this twitter trash in bad faith

I can assure you im not part of an MS Fud campaign. Im tired of seeing the brand i grew up with ran into the dirt by incompetent out of touch management.
I wasn't even referring to you, but your constantly daily whining and refusal to listen to logic is annoying too.

What good news are you expecting exactly? The problem here is that we keep having these shifting goalposts with which to shit on Playstation. There's no indication that the loss of Connie Booth is a Bad Thing(TM), we only have the usual suspects seizing on every single whiff of potential FUD to try to take away from PS's current dominance. We can guess why that is.

Every single year since the PS5 launch we have had at least one GotY contender game from PS first party studios. What are you expecting exactly? You think that suddenly that's going to vaporize because an executive producer leaves?

Sony need to acquire some major ips themselves. Naughty dog is basically MIA this generation so that just leaves ssm and insomniac to carry all the weight. Square is now looking to go multiplatform so scratch final fantasy off the list. Sega is essentially in Ms pocket now plus the 2 other publishers they bought.

What I’m saying is Sony has a good foundation but they’re one Microsoft acquisition of a Japanese publisher away getting walkmanned in my opinion and they don’t seem to care. Gaas isn’t what made them what they are and it’s going to backfire.

One japanese publisher away from getting walkmanned? Really?
