Actually he has continued business as usual… Hoping for some of that Fortnite GaaS cash. And is getting none of it.
Can’t wait to see the “Sony going multi-platform and ditching hardware” like we’ve seen the last week for Xbox, from gamers and journos alike… oh wait, they won’t, who am I kidding?

I’m sure the SDF already proclaimed it to be FAKE.

Easier to read this, I thought TLOU2 would sell more considering how highly people rate Naughty Dog, same tier as Rockstar for many people.

On Era, they are fighting if the game lost a bit of money or gain a bit of money. This is useless, the big picture is that a game that was - rightfully - claimed as one of the best looking - and fun - games of its year, multi-nominated and pushed by its publisher heavily, made by one of the premier studios of this industry, such game can or cannot make a profit to the point that its developper now prefers to lose its IP control to work on a Disney licence for 10+ years.
For most devs in the industry, this is either frightening or depressing.

Notice how the games that go beyond 20M sales didnt manage to reach $1Billion in revenue while candy crush alone generates far more than that and probably far more profit than all of those games combined yearly…with $0 spending.
COD does the same but obviously they spend a lot more money but still generates $3Billion+ on a yearly basis and now Xbox is getting %100 of that.

Did the document explain what these “pillars” are exactly? PS+ is probably one of them, right?
It’s interesting to think that more people played a small game like Grounded (and a new IP too) than a big blockbuster like TLOU2.

Could multiplatform mean including PC and mobile?

It only means Ps5, PC and mobile, nothing more.

Holy shit this leak is eye opening! O.o Dont know of MS’s future is the “correct” one but it is clear thet if the gaming industry continues the way has been doing so far it will be unsustainable. Whats next? Games with budget of $400M+? And the next generation $600M? Something have to change.

Yeah has to be it. It’s only MS that would be fine with all of their stuff everywhere. Although I wonder if Xbox really meant that when they said PS and Nintendo. Knowing they would never agree to that, they can just say that.
They were just talking about ideal world scenarios, I think you need to let that quote go, in that scenario content would be available on all platforms not just Microsofts content. They would like their stuff everywhere but thats simply not how the games industry works right now.
Yeah, and iirc Spencer came back to that discussion not so long ago and said they aren’t interested, I read that as Xbox isn’t.

If I had a gaming news outlet, I would feel uncomfortable reporting on ransomeware data. What I do find a little disingenuous is the glee that outlet reported leaks from other companies.
