What praise? I've never seen widespread praise about them besides 1 or 2 comments here or there.
Sarah Bond gets more praise for smiling on camera then Jim Ryan ever did.
PS Now used outdated Cloud technology and architeture, which is why they canned it.
Marathon I also don't mind because that's what bungie should be releasing, so I can just ignore it. Now, tying everybody else to Live Service bullshit? Not for me, they can fuck right off.
I didn't specify a number, did I? Nor did I say "a lot of". But there's definitely some.

That shit uses PS3 hardware to function in 2023.
Yea, whatever, I don't even count them as a proper PlayStation studio, they make multiplataform GaaS that I'm not interested in playing but I never expected more than that. As far as PlayStation players go Bungie was never an answer to Bethesda acquisition and the games that we won't be getting going forward because of that.
Bungie is more like SOE was.
I'm kind of in the same boat as OP but not quite as black pilled yet. Sony basically just doesn't get me excited about anything anymore, I don't like the games they push as the top shelf marquee titles and just patiently wait for them to release things I want. I've always been a playstation gamer so I always like to see them doing well as a company but since getting the PS5 I have personally been very underwhelmed. I expected some surprises yesterday that would inject a little long term hype into the brand for me but nope, nothing on the horizon I care about really except known safe stuff like remasters and new Spider-man.
Do you know that GT Sport was a full blown GAAS game? You played It?
What wrong with PC ports ( if aren’t broken)? It is additional money. So, additional money for PS business.
Love the TLOU series. One of the best i've watched in recent years. Masterfully played. So, additional money for PS business.
Service is just an another option to play games. Still rather buy games. Even at heavy discount. Bought Serious Sam 4 for 12$, but i know it will appear on PS+.

GT Sport was great, I was able to play it single player and have fun with it just like with the previous GT, none of these GaaS games shown or rumored resemble that in any way.
How do PC ports help me as a PlayStation 5 player? By putting more pressure on Sony to make all their games GaaS so they become more successful on PC? By requiring devs to spend time porting their engines and optimizing the mess that are PC ports?
TLoU game is superior in pretty much every way, I could've done without the series, it did nothing for me, just an ok average series, there are plenty of better series on TV and specially on HBO.
I don't like service but I'm also not dumb, I won't pay $70 knowing a game will be added on a service I'm forced to pay to have access to basic features unless the game is so great that I can't wait. I won't buy Spider-man 2 for example, I'll play it when they add it on PS+ if I still have PS5 by then or else I just buy it on PC when I feel like playing another Marvel game.
If my newly acquired buying habits hurts Sony:

Let's consider this:
- The franchise is developed by a Playstation Studio
- Playstation gamers pay for the game
- Xbox gamers get it with a subscription service

Lets pretend the guy would not see a problem if Spider-man 2 was being added day one on Gamepass because Disney required.
When you lay it out like that, it's clear we need to push as hard as possible to reverse this disaster of a plan... this needs to stop and we need to get things refocused back on AAA story based games.
Probably wouldn't because doesn't matter what Playstation does, some people will cheer it. Maybe I'm wrong.

The thing about his plan is that it's bad if it doesn't work and even worse if it succeeds. If they strike gold with their own Fortnite/GTAV online like sucecss it's going to get even worse for high quality AAA single player games.
Right now I'm hoping for somewhat decent hardware from Nintendo so at least we'll keep getting good more traditional games from Japanese devs for that platform.
PS cant grow if they just focus on the same 100 million gamers every gen. They cant grow delivering the same single player games over and over.
Let the man cook. He is doing a better job than most in his position.
Sony got billions to blow on taking risk, im not worried. Better they go this route now vs leaving they ass wide open for companies like ms, apple, amazon google to swoop down and buy up T2, ABK, EA….. then turn around and tell sony they cant get cod, gta, BF anymore.
Yesterday they dropped the ball, but this is opinion is a over reach.

So 120m console is not enough? Give me a break.
Elden Ring, Hogwarts, Fallen Order, RE4, Zelda ToTK, quality games are having no problem selling while the vast majority of GaaS flop hard.
It gives them leverage in the future as well. MLB needs them as much as they need the license.
What pressure about making GAAS games? What the hell are you talking about? They already have GAAS games in its portofolio way before Bungie acquisition. PC is just extra money. Better for them
Good is it is not for you. But that doesn't mean it is bad if it is not your cup of tea.
Bought Returnal twice. Well, it is on service. Bought Ratchet, it is on service. Yes, you know they will come to service, BUT NOT DAY ONE. Bet that GOW Ragnarok will appear on the service sometimes next year.
Let's consider this. Sony had two options : keep the licence and make an easy money making game for other platforms or lose everything. MS paid for it. Easy money for Sony too. I'm not guided by any feeling for the console. So what it is on Gamepass. And MLB is a game which is played for months ( and you need to pay sub monthly to play game) basically till next game. Better to buy game and own it. And if i don't like it, will sell it. Buy something else
