Sony can do whatever they want, people will complain bitterly regardless. They put out a bunch of small, unattached games for PS4 and they neither sold nor reached critical acclaim.
@lazarus11 I think so? I don’t believe there was any kind of conspiracy against this game, but that’s not to say that online people are always honest. Plenty of folks like to have opinions about things they have no familiarity with.
I never heard of Leslie Benzies prior to this game’s marketing. I enjoyed MindsEye for what it was, but it definitely wasn’t the right way to try to launch a service platform.
I couldn’t imagine being a game dev in the modern social media era. Just skimming through comment sections makes me want to live underground and never read another human’s thoughts 😵💫
@Pat_trick I don't know if "vast majority" is accurate, but the point is these games can be incredibly lucrative if they do succeed. I understand why companies chase this area, even if I don't play any of them.
@Cherip-the-Ripper Those are the just the all-timers. Plenty of new games have had great success, it's just getting to a point where it's either huge success or crushing failure with zero in-between.
Just goes to show that live service doesn’t sell and no one wants it.
Except for Fortnite, Roblox, GTA Online, Call of Duty, Genshin Impact, League of Legends, FIFA, PUBG, WoW, Apex Legends, Valorant, Final Fantasy XIV, Honkai Star Rail, Destiny 2, and Rocket League. Not to mention Sony-owned Helldivers 2 😉
@RoomWithaMoose That’s fine because it isn’t a Sony game. PS Studios specifically aren’t allowed to remake/remaster/reboot games (except for Bluepoint which should’ve remade everything SIE has ever published) or make sequels.

Re: 'Exclusives Are Absolutely Not Happening': Xbox Helix Will Share Library with PS6
One look at all the sales they've made on PS5 would've told anyone this
Re: Clair Obscur Dev Promises a 'Fair' Solution After Threatening Legal Action Against Unrelated Comic
It's hard being a struggling indie dev when all these comic books try to rip you off.
Re: PS5 Pro Sales Explode on the Back of PSSR 2 Hype, System Sells Out in Some Stores
GameStop has a special on used PS5 Pro's and a disc drive for $721.99, perhaps that's contributing a bit?
Re: PS5 Pro Sales Explode on the Back of PSSR 2 Hype, System Sells Out in Some Stores
Got one on launch day and have been thrilled ever since
Re: Hope for Digital Devil Saga Remasters Reignited as News of Strange PC, Switch Port Spreads
If they make them look all desaturated, green-tinted, and plasticine like the Devil Summoner remaster then no thanks
Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200
@ElectricWizard Aren’t a lot of keys stolen or otherwise obtained fraudulently?
Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200
Makes sense considering that graphics cards and now RAM cost more than entire consoles.
Another issue this thing will face is being too console for the PC crowd and too PC for the console crowd.
Re: Myst, Riven Remakes Are Both Bound for PS5 Very Soon
I’ll have to check both of those out along with Firmament
Re: Study Claims Sony's PS5 Games Are Leaving Big PC Sales on the Table
I was told no one bought any of these ports and PC gamers don't want them.
Re: Opinion: God of War: Sons of Sparta Is the Smaller PS5 Game Fans Want, and I Hope We See More
Sony can do whatever they want, people will complain bitterly regardless. They put out a bunch of small, unattached games for PS4 and they neither sold nor reached critical acclaim.
Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports
@Dyd87xz Why do PC guys argue with me even when I agree with them?
Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports
@Dyd87xz Nobody at all
Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports
PCMR before this: "Ha ha! We can play all your games!"
PCMR now: "We didn't want those stupid games anyway!!"

@Slayer25c That's not what I've been reading on PushSquare for the last year+!!
Re: Marathon PS5 User Reviews Remarkably Positive After String of Live Service Disasters
Hope it succeeds so that people here get mad
Re: Is Slay the Spire 2 Coming to PS5? Because We Need It Right Now
@Hi569 I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it before today. But all the comparisons to Marathon made me think it was
Re: Is Slay the Spire 2 Coming to PS5? Because We Need It Right Now
More live service stuff that no one wants?

Re: The Abandoned PS5 Fiasco of 2021 Has Been Resurrected, Dev Testing Abandoned: Gospels of Blood
Hopefully this comes out around the same time as Code Violet 2
Re: 'They're Not Going to Delay PS6': Hardware Leaker Says 2027 Still Likely After Xbox Helix Reveal
Technology marches forward regardless of what whiners and malcontents think
Re: MindsEye Studio Laying Off More Staff as It Doubles Down on Conspiracy Theory
@JayJ Yes, that’s your prerogative
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
Will there be a Helix S for cheapskates who also love white consoles like me?
Re: Out Today: Marathon's PS5 Launch Puts Sony's $3B Live Service Gamble to the Test
@LogicStrikesAgain Don’t forget to complain about any collateral damage or fallout resulting from the thing you actively rooted for!
Re: Out Today: Marathon's PS5 Launch Puts Sony's $3B Live Service Gamble to the Test
@wildcat_kickz Serious lowlife behavior for sure.
This article reminds me that I need to play Marathon: Durandal on my Xbox
Re: Your Latest Look at Forza Horizon 6 Is So Tame It'd Put Your Driving Instructor to Sleep
Hopefully at least one of the missions involves cat-girls

Re: MindsEye Studio Laying Off More Staff as It Doubles Down on Conspiracy Theory
@DartLOD Seems to me that a lot of people just went along with the memes instead of actually playing it.
Re: MindsEye Studio Laying Off More Staff as It Doubles Down on Conspiracy Theory
I never heard of Leslie Benzies prior to this game’s marketing. I enjoyed MindsEye for what it was, but it definitely wasn’t the right way to try to launch a service platform.
Still excited about the redemption arc, though!
Re: After Cancelling Most PC Ports, Sony Promotes New 'PC Ready' Controller
A good option for those who don’t want to deal with icky Xbox controllers
Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
@Haruki_NLI Nixxes also does general support, so I think they’re safe. They helped out with Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, I believe.
Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
@RBMango Amen! Exclusivity has been a thing since the beginning. Xbox trying to gaslight everyone was insane.
Re: Believe It or Not, Atomic Heart Is Still Getting DLC
This is on my list as I like the idea of getting stepped on by robot women. Besides that, it looks perfectly weird enough for me!
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity Gets a 60FPS Patch on PS5 Tomorrow
“Ubisoft is so terrible” Meanwhile we’re still getting 60fps patches for their old games!
Re: Sony Returns to PlayStation Exclusivity and Stops Single Player PC Ports, New Report Says
@Dogbreath I don’t think forgoing 2% of their annual revenue to focus on console will have any effect on the next console price.
Re: Crimson Desert Confirms PSSR 2 on PS5 Pro, But Glowing Previews All Based on PC Version
@evan23 People here thrive off drama and being upset, especially preemptively upset.
Re: Sony Returns to PlayStation Exclusivity and Stops Single Player PC Ports, New Report Says
@TrollOfWar I think costing 2-3x as much will put a big damper on that.

Re: Highguard Permanently Shuts Down on 12th March
@LogicStrikesAgain Seems like a lot of people would rather hate things and complain on the internet than get therapy.
Re: Highguard Permanently Shuts Down on 12th March
@Pat_trick The Game Awards cringe definitely did this particular game no favors, though...
Re: Highguard Permanently Shuts Down on 12th March
@Pat_trick I don't know if "vast majority" is accurate, but the point is these games can be incredibly lucrative if they do succeed. I understand why companies chase this area, even if I don't play any of them.

Re: Physical Game Sales Hit All-Time Low in the US
PS4/5 physical just isn't fun to collect, IMO. I do buy discs when it's drastically cheaper than digital/never goes on sale digitally or is delisted.
Re: Highguard Permanently Shuts Down on 12th March
@J2theEzzo Google’s AI didn’t mention it!

Re: Opinion: If Sony's Doubling Down on Its Most Popular Franchises, Where's Uncharted?
@RoomWithaMoose Ahh! Haven’t played it yet, but it (and the first one) is definitely on my list.
