- Thread starter Fenton
- Start date
Loosers in school.
Can't make Friends or get into friends groups.
Nobody likes them
They grow up
Find a group that likes them but they have to change gender and get woke.
But in that group they all agree wit themselves
Get a job at sony
Be a shitty TOXIC POSITIVTY boss / director / worker
See the world through your stupid dick politics nobody asked about
Force your crap on everyone
"but you are all wrong you are bullying me!"
WASTE 400 MIL$$$
This could've been 2 uncharted games, bloodborne remaster, killzone and resistance collections. And there would still be cash left over

Finally they can put this shitshow behind them. Now they can concentrate on destroying the rest of their legacy by going PC Day 1 and giving the victory to Steam.

The only player metric we have was the Steam beta and that showed Day on Day drops past launch.
The vast majority of people who gave the game a try did not stick around unlike many other FPS games.
They made an excellent FPS game that has VERY bad character designs. The audience it gathered were grifters and their goons shitting on it quickly and overpowered the small community who wanted to enjoy a new game. Sad ending overall.
Now I am waiting with bated breath for the horizon GaaS games, maybe we will be rid off the guerrilla/borizon stink after all
One PR disaster after another. What a pathetic market leader.
Closing a studio after only a single failure is lame and cringe
Finishing a game and not making it available in some way is also very cringe.
Sony should release the game with tools for fans to host their own servers so that the game can continue to exist and be played without being on the dime of Sony.

Inclusion is good on paper.
But we are forcing inclusion of non existing or veeeeery small group of people.
How do we know that group is small? They were target for concord and look how many people bought it.
There are ton of gay people in the world and THATS GREAT. But Gayu =/= not woke.
woke is political forced view. Gay is sex preference.
People are mixing gender, sexual orientation and politics

You don't spend a billion dollars building a "small community". They fucked up big time and Sony probably made the right decision pulling support oone week in.
Good step, now get ride of Hermen Hulst and replace this tastless clown with someone that understand gaming and playstation values.
Oh yeah, they are in Seattle, aren't they? They can go over and make the next Halo. Can't be any worse than 343I.
The only logical move that could be made, there was no future for the game or the studio based on what was heard about everything.
That gives me a stomach ache. Hulst himself praised the game and team highly a good two years ago. At Sony, they were convinced that they had not only bought the developer, but also presented the title in a big way in the SoP. And there was also a secret level episode! After the beta, which flopped, they stuck to the date and price and let the developer and the title run into trouble. And despite the basic framework, the title was taken off the internet and the developer has now closed down. In my opinion, that is more Xbox "quality" and I would have expected more from Sony.
I have no idea who messed up, but I fear Hulst is largely to blame. The problem now is the external impact. Fairgames and Marathon are two other titles that hardly anyone seems to be interested in without even having seen any gameplay. Unless they are F2P at launch, the few Concord fans will not buy anything again, invest time and may end up being ripped off again. What is left of the Life Service strategy anyway? LoU Online canceled, Studio Liverpool and their Life Service project dead, Firewalk and Concord dead, Marathon is said to be in bad shape and nobody knows what is going on with Fairgames. Only Helldivers 2 is a surprise hit, but its profits have already been wiped out by the loss from canceled titles and closed studios.
Let's hope that the Horizon Online games do well, otherwise Hulst will surely lose his job. Overall, however, it is a huge embarrassment for Sony that should now lead to consequences. The Live Service and PC port strategies have obviously failed.
