He's the best. He's the man.

I have zero issue with live service games as long as there is equal emphasis on nice solo story driven experiences. Optional PVE coop is god-tier.

1 sale < 2-3 bangers a year

I think the execs and fans both agree

 

[RoadHazard]

Shu remains the best Sony person.

12 live service games. What an investment.

Plus Bungie games. That 12 game count was before they bought them.

 

[lh032]

the most realistic option we have here is single player games + live service games.

There is no way any corporation can sustain for long just buy selling single player games.

They have to get funding from elsewhere.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Tell that to executives who are chasing after the $$$.

At least it's not mobile gacha. Things can always get worse.

 

[Aressa]

Shuhei absolutely gets it. He always appeared as someone who genuinely love gaming and not just pure business.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Poor Shu....they are probably going to promote him to some corner office for saying this stuff once all sonys gaas games get announced this year and next.

And he's right.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Agreed! Absolutely zero interest in Live service games. As soon as I see a newly announced game is a live service game, I immediately move on and stop caring about it

 

[ReBurn]

If Sony cared about what he had to say they probably wouldn't have demoted him and shipped him off to Siberia with the indies in the first place.

 

[SHA]

There's a limit to how many live service games can be successful, because most gamers can only play one. Two if they are a maniac. And now we see that publishers are willing to drop games if they aren't Destiny (does anyone really think MultiVersus will come back?). Realistically if Sony can find success with 2 out of those 12 it will be a massive victory. That's how crazy this GAAS market is.


Never gonna happen, he got demoted/Gunpei'd.

I'm curious to know what will happen to indie games , there are many and most of us aren't interested in these types of games.

Sure, NeoGAF will gobble up this kind of bullshit.
