What is the troll point? please enlighten me... I mean, you clearly have the big brain intellect.
Key example of unnecessary bloat in PlayStation Studios
- Thread starter Jim Ryan
- Start date
People are the most expensive part of game development. I don't know if we could make correlations with Hollywood (there are more info about it), but there are people in positions of power in the entertainment industry that are definitely negatively impacting the whole process and the end result, especially in these western AAA blockbuster games.
What is 'alarming' with Sony is the fact that, when they consolidated in the PS3 era, the purpose was to be more efficient, productive, and secure a higher degree of success with each project. I think their track record speaks for itself, but at the same time, one of the negative effects of consolidation, creatively speaking, is homogeneity, which theoretically should further decrease costs and increase output.
So, something has to be fucked up systematically speaking. That there must be practices, guidelines that are messing up budgets and timelines.

@Satoru being a indeginous "intellectual" again.
No employers forcing employees to be flexible and jack of all trade.
No we all have eyes to what happens. Gaming sectors or tech sectors all have big growth over the Wuhan pandemic so they overhire with big remote jobs with decent pay thanks to being able skimped on office spaces. That leads to useless positions like community managers, social media managers, writing coordinators, bla bla bla.
Now they just laying them off because as usual those jobs only mean temporary anyway.
Banking foreign exchange bubble, .com bubble, now online services/gamming bubble. All eventually have to be bursted. AI/ML is the next one.

Do you mean indigenous or Disingenuous?
No one calls my boy a native and gets away with it.
can you teach us how spiderman 2 writing was miles better than spiderman with this miles bigger writing team?
you can clearly see the tweet, to which we are responding.
it is clearly misconception to what bloat is in this case and what actually isn't. i made myself clear multiple times on this matter and supported you multiple times times too.
in this case, adding 0 reports on writers crunch, plus, taking into account previously written games and books etc.. i am in conclusion that the writing team was bloated. unless you can share more real info.
while i still believe in this particular case, it isn't exclusive to other factors. like that Jimbo and Hulst fucked up royally and it costing people jobs, while they are getting paid millions.
it is really sad that some people invested massive time and effort to work there, even moved to the other country just to lose the job, just that suits get more money.
Well if you’ve seen TLOU2 Grounded doc then you know these studios aren’t really aware of what they are going to get themselves in when they enter production. It’s honestly crazy. Games have been around for quite a bit now, these are storied studios, and they still don’t have a grasp of what they are getting into?
I’ll say it again Respawn launched Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor within a span of 3 1/2 years. Jedi Survivor is a big game, with beautiful advanced visuals, incredible mo cap.

Last of Us was written by 1-2 people. i don't know what you tell you more..
The fact that they scaled up from Fallen Order to Jedi Survivor in that period of time really is impressive. Sure, some poor performance issues and a little longer to smooth that out would have been good, but nonetheless it's impressive.
Junior writer at sony santa monica. She was apparently in charge of writing some tooltips and other bits and bobs.
By the way. I know the problem is:
Sony is woke af. These mfs never sleep. They have HQ in 3 different continents. How could you sleep with that.
They need to eradicate all the wokes.... Make sure everyone be able to sleep again.
Look at @Satoru . He is woke af, he never sleep. That why he always got terrible opinions. Man's brain is as fried as his Macbook board, the fourth one he bought.

Oh no! Someone pointing things out that hurt me feelings.
Facts don’t care about your feeling my guy.
Disney doesn't get massive chunk of sales for sitting their asses. Disney gets paid according to the games performance. Like any royalty deal
Those Sony profits encompass acquisitions. No idea why, to me they are a seperate expense.
If Xbox showed their books in the same fashion, it would be a bloodbath.
They got a huge (comparatively) amount of the gross for every Spiderman PS4 bundle that was sold, like shockingly so. It was one of the things that came out in the leak. Bearing in mind that Sony counts those bundles towards total game sales when discussing Spidey and his 20 million units.
