Yah I’m done with PlayStation, what is the point of investing on a library for this console when all your games end up on PC/Xbox and they are even play anywhere there.

Fine by me, PC it is, not going to be dumb and spend money on a PlayStation library anymore specially when BC is very limited.

Yeah if there is no changes in the current direction they are heading to by the end of the gen, PS5 will be my last PlayStation console.

Wonder what Sony got in response to giving them full ownership of it?? Can’t just be a one way transactional relationship
It is not rare to have contract deal that allow the 3rd-part to buy the IP if they wish after reach some performance metric or time period.

That was probably in contract since they signed it.
That basically has nothing to do with the actual Sony lead.

Who was in charge in 2014-2015?

I'm trying to find a direct source, but IGN is reporting that Kojima Productions has taken full ownership of the Death Stranding IP.


Apparently owns Physint too so that’s going to be on Xbox ahahha

Sony are clowns, spending hundreds of millions on IP they don’t even own

They did own it until Kojima Pro brought it back.
That is how contracts are made.

Probably there are some clause that Kojima could buy the IP based on period or performance metric.

Sure blame the doomers for sony wasting a shitload of money on a game no one asked for , they can keep making games like concord and they will get the same result everytime
They need to make GaaS to fund other projects. That was made clear. You can't have it both ways.

No surprise all these stuff happening since Jimbo's gone. He got the IP rights for the OG when the 505 loophole came to GP PC.
Just launched a Pro, DS2 is coming, that would boost the OG on your own platform... sigh. It's the same with announcing SM2 to PC while you just announced the Pro and didn't give it a holiday shine as the best version.

Wonder what Sony got in response to giving them full ownership of it?? Can’t just be a one way transactional relationship
At best I could say for Physint but would argue it wasn't even a trade at all lmao and Kojima owns that too in exchange.
I would not be surprised if they didn't cover or renew the agreements and let it slide. Decima on the competitor. Morons.

Just to point here because I’m seeing a lot of Jimbo claims…

Death Stranding was a Andrew House deal… so blame him instead.

Dude they are funding the sequel. So Sony gets no IP, and probably only gets revenue from sales on PlayStation? Ahahah

What the fuck man, who is running this business? Let Kojima go to the EA’s of the world then, let him sell his ass or put his ass on the line by funding the games himself.

What weird shit is this, how does opportunity cost make sense here? You spend hundreds of millions on an IP that you won’t even own, build it up so that at the end it’s not even a PlayStation IP? You give away your top of the line technology so that it goes on Xbox?

Why not spend that money building your own IP? This is ridiculous.

So paying for online, paying for cloud saves, paying for a version of game that only works on PlayStation, and meanwhile I can just connect a dual sense to PC and play their shit on Steam where backwards compatibility is on a whole different level, and I get to play that version on an handheld too if I want, which in the future will be powerful enough to run those games better than on PlayStation.

Clown shoes, dead platform coasting on history.

I wonder if DS2 will be announced for Xbox too soon.
At this point it's going to be day and date with PC. And a year later for Xbox is my prediction. I don't see Hermen keep it on console only for multiple years. Switch 2 version coming for the OG too no doubt.
