they need to sell Bungie asap or kick those useless directors out and bring them under PS studios globally
I am seeing some pretty wild takes.

VR being a money pit kinda guarantee any exclusive will bomb on it, throwing studios into debt.Instead of blaming an incompetent CEO and the awful Bungie acquisition, you blame a growing market and innocent hardworking developers that just lost their jobs?
The anti VR FUD really makes people lose all common sense
VR also killed Guerrilla Cambridge
I'm not celebrating people losing their jobs though.

a lot of this is due to the Bungie acquisition and how they've completely fucked up over the last year and have had to rely on Sony bankrolling them
Yes. More games, from the right studios = more profits.
and people want more acquisitions now.
Shall they stop making games because it costs money?
It was already known that Insomniac would suffer layoffs. It was talked about in the Wolverine leak.Layoffs at your most successful, consistent, and productive studio is beyond stupid !!! Wild

Kinda figured Naughty Dog wouldn't escalate this time, I'm sure Sony has them on a tighter leash now.Layoffs at your most successful, consistent, and productive studio is beyond stupid !!! Wild
Guess the cuts they pushed for at Insomniac in the leaks really happened
Could have spent those 3.5B keeping studios and projects going.
900 is huge number for playstation.
Jimbo and Hulst set back Playstation at least 3-4 years back.

Was London the studio that was making the fantasy gaas game we saw images of?

ND layoffs are probably mostly related to talent that could not be re-assigned from the MP to the SP games, at least that's my copium.
5+ years the least. Thankfully more US studios weren't affected. But they seem to have hit UK and Japan hard... Madness.
