MBG is not a "Sony fan", nor does he speak for Sony fans. That clown is an emotional crybaby that will post anything and everything for views and donations. He's by far one of the dumbest gaming "influencers", and that's saying a lot. He makes Colteastwood look smart.
What on earth are you talking about. You'd have to be actively denying reality and all of the cancelled GAAS projects to come to that conclusion. He wasted millions and years of ND and Insomniacs time on their cancelled multiplayer projects.
We’ve been trying to tell people. People think these people that run these companies are village idiots. Yes they make mistakes, but they understand business. I don’t like GAAS, but Sony is going to have to do two things. Either keeping focusing on these GAAS, hoping one hits big to help offset cost for these big AAA games. Or downscale most of their AAA SP games, and only give big budgets to 1 or 2 studios.
I disagree completely, other than being cringe and beggarly MBG is basically someone who has milquetoast takes, and I think he leans too far into giving Xbox/their talking points the benefit of the doubt given that he used to be an xbox fanboy. However, he's nowhere near as dumb as Colt, who has to be borderline institutionalizable because his paycheck requires him to have the dumbest takes imaginable.
Nintendo has sold exactly one game for 70 dollars and it was a GotY contender that took multiple studios 6 years to make. It had a longer dev time than, for instance, H:FW. Additionally, plenty of their smaller titles start out at less than 60. And, of course, if you really wanted to compete with Nintendo there... just do it. Put less money into graphics, mocap and celeb actors while keeping the gameplay and engine specifics/procedural stuff.
Dude no....MBG is dumb as a rock. He had a super cringey meltdown over the ABK deal where it looked like he was about to burst into tears. I don't think he was acting. Colt is stupid, but it's at least obvious that he's mostly being facetious and doing all this just for the money.
Sony and everyone else got shit for upping their default game price from 60 to 70 and rightfully so. Even Nintendo got pushback when they did the stealth reveal of TotK's price rise. You're totally overlooking the fact that that game was a spear-tip for a price rise. Just googling around, Dread got pushback on its price too.
All was forgiven when the game came out and was worth it but you must not hang around Nintendo threads too often if you didn't see people getting pissed about it.
It wasn’t rightfully so. We’re now seeing why they raised the price of games to $70.
“Put less money into graphics, mocap and celeb actors while keeping the gameplay and engine specifics/procedural stuff“.
Exactly, Insomniac is the type of studio that should be growing.... Meanwhile, they don't mind pumping countless resources into unproven GAAS junk
Layoffs are unfortunately happening across the industry. MS just laid off 10,000 devs from Bethesda, a studio that was making their biggest game in a decade and the coalition.
that's not a defense. insomniac is profitable and productive. i would understand if they were bloated and underperforming but they're not.
