Small update:

F**k you to who?

Neil Cuckman? IDK, thats why bussiness don't mix with politics. All those things happening those days, war, Argentina vote for president... is enough to make those politics figure ignorants at the point of insulting everyone. Thats why we don't mix games with politics.

Much ado about nothing........

Why do you guys give this man clout?

Cuz every now and then he says something team green/team blue agrees with.

If you look up threads with his name.
When he criticizes Microsoft the same people complaining that this man is out of touch will be praising him as a genius, while team green will be saying: "why even bother listening to this cat, he hasnt made a game in years"
When he criticizes Sony those green rats who dismissed him, are on his side.

"Sad, frustrating, potentially super disrespectful news dropping tomorrow about Playstation if my sources are correct. I talk around it in this ****members only video**** but in less than 24 hours I'm sure the journalists will get hold of it and tell the tale"

Maybe he liked to work with her, or maybe he wants to increase his members. It seems like a very personal situation.

Small update:

F**k you to who?

I don't get his attitude. Do we know why she's leaving? Literally nothing changes at Sony and he says that at the end of that tweet, lmao.

[DJ12]

Much ado about nothing........

For jaffe

 

[Black_Stride]

Much ado about nothing........

Wait its her and her whole team?

Who is taking over Product Development then?
This could be bigger news than people realize


EDIT:
Looks like its Angie Smet taking over, shes already been at it.
So lets see what the next slate of Playstation titles are under Angie.

EDIT2:
Imma guess it was just a restructuring.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Is it bad that I'm assuming there's probably a good reason for this? ha! Trying not to be a corp shill, but I mean, you don't just do something like this on a whim.

Back when SIE Was SCE, you had leadership at SCEJ, SCEA, and SCEE. Now that it is SIE, everything is headquartered in California

? SIE LLC (USA) and SIE Inc. (Japan) do have the same leadership, but that doesn't mean they don't exist as their own legal entity anymore.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Sorry I doubted y'all, y'all were right, it was absolutely nothing

 

[StealthGoblin]

Hermen Hulzt probably.

He's a games guy. He doesn't know how to run a business.

The common factor between Kaz, House and Ryan was that they ran huge chunks of SIE before landing that job.

Hulst runs the Studios. He knows little of marketing, corporate synergy etc

I wouldn't want him in charge of the whole ship.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Drama Queen for clicks.....he could've just said it was about layoffs.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Hermen Hulst, Kaz, Shuhei and Crying Jim have had a gang bang ring where they only fuck anime virgins.

And now it's about to come to the light.

 

[clarky]

Wait, some bints quit? Thats it? Gimmie a break.

What a tit.

 

[mckmas8808]

Damn, Naughty Dog really hurt a lot of people.

Its sad to see how many people are so jealous of Naughty Dog and the games they've made.

 

[Killer8]

Why do you guys give this man clout?

He made a couple of good games 20 years ago and has been coasting off it ever since as an 'industry expert'.

 

[TheGodfather07]

I like jaffe but this is ridiculous. This is what social media seems to do to everyone. They all end up desperate for views and clicks so they try to make a big deal about anything, desperately looking for attention. All the fucking things going on in the world right now and THIS is something sad and frustrating? Give me a fucking break.

 

[Little Mac]

Jaffe?! The guy who got lost in Metroid Dread's starting area?!

For the gaf bros who don't know what I'm talking about:

 

[kirby007]

well that was a big letdown

Agreed. So an exec leaving and it's somehow "distrespectful" - GTFO your high horse Jaffe.

 

[BiohazardX95]

Seriously, gaf should ban Jaffe as a source after this.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Hey gamers, I heard a mindblowing leak from a certain person I cant name yet. I'm not saying the leak is in the stratosphere like Apple buying Nintendo, but it's a sad day which will change gaming for a lot of you. If you want to hear more, sub to my YT channel.

Spoiler

The leak comes from a guy named David Jaffe. Ya I know. What a letdown.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

If presented the right way, with an info dump article and you know, some context for this person's existence and plight, and some kind of forecast about the dimensions of the Void she'll leave - then I think this would have been differently received.

But as it stands, in wartime 2023, he builds this up to be heavy hitting (and tbh, I didn't get the vibe you guys did, I thought the phrasing indicated somebody else got caught with their hands down an employees pants or some shit) and somber shit. Three times. Then talks about MORE INFO IF YOU PAY ME. Like....

Ehhhh.

I'm just as glad it's nothing world-changing. But thanks for the extra .02% of stress over a hobby of mine for eight hours or so.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Because his dumb ass didn't know how to shoot diagonally...DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Why does Kojima have the yes I slept with her bro face? Lmao

 

[Pelta88]

Desperate for attention.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

well that was a big letdown

I mean it did come from David Jaffe.

 

[GeoramA]

Connie Booth left? That sucks, but she's pretty much near retirement age.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

God.. I am beginning to hate this guy. His credit in the bank with me for making one of my best franchises is officially done.

 

[Katatonic]

Angie Smet is a badass who, from what I've seen has a no nonsense yet gracious demeanor. Guerrilla has really come a long way.

 

[mejin]

So, Spider Sales were the Sad news?

 

[Lokaum D+]

i think David Jaffe is the most butt hurted man in the history of video game, just saying.

 

[JackMcGunns]

 

[rofif]

Hopefully Neil druckman gets the Axe in my opinion he’s the equivalent of Nomura at SE completely blindsided by his own fantasies.

Duckman saved the studio.
UC4 is in another dimension than space nazis from previous games.
Tlou2 also. he gets too much hype and Hennig got too much praise

[Days like these...]

Knack 3.

Knack is the single reason I will never own a Sony console. Well, him and Cerny.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

That's the bombshell news. Connie Booth (assuming you know who she even is) is leaving Sony.

 

[GymWolf]

That's all? For this kind of "scoops" Jaffe's subscribers pay him?

The involuntary comedy gold could be another selling point, between the metroid dread debacle, the starfield praising and the nothing burgers news dude is almost as funny as chapelle.

 

[veterangamerUK]

Kinda bored with people who release titbits then sit there rubbing their nipples looking at all the attention they’re getting

 

[mckmas8808]

Does anybody take Jaffe seriously? Lol

YES! He's a former major dev and he still has contacts in the industry. Not taking davidjaffe seriously would be a VERY stupid thing to do. It'll be very 21st century to do so. That's what idiot kids do these days on social media.

 

[mdkirby]

what a load of hyperbolic nonsense.

 

[MALpractice311]

Because his dumb ass didn't know how to shoot diagonally...DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

For real? Wow. I don't think its a requirement that games journalists be top tier gamers, but some basic fucking understanding of the hobby they're covering would be nice.

 

[kiphalfton]

never ever buy the idea that your work is your family and the company is your life.

You're an idiot if you think this.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

"HEY, LOOK AT ME !!!"

Spoiler: Multiverse version

 

[Hugare]

Its been hard focusing at work today with this news. Anyone but Connie

I wonder how Sony will survive. Even further: how GAMING will survive.

Heard that Miyamoto himself told that it was Connie who gave him the idea for Mario

Rest in peace, queen

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Since I've never heard of this Connie Booth I'll post the classic Connie Booth, once wife of John Cleese and co-star / co-writer of Fawlty Towers

 

[iamvin22]

Don't see why yall take his takes serious anymore. He's proven to be a drama queen, king.

 

[X-Wing]

Jaffe is an idiot

 

[dottme]

I’m buying an XSX. I don’t expect anything good on PS5 anymore.
