"Jack Tretton, Sony president and CEO of SCEA, has said that social and free-to-play games aren’t where gaming is headed, which should prove some comfort for dedicate PlayStation fans who just want to buy a game and play it."
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Hope so...
I hope Sony keeps being Sony.
I like how he's foucusing in the hardcore while everyone else wants to appeal to the casual crowd
Um honesty why would he say "yes social games will kill playstation!! yeah!!".
But real social gamers are here to stay. Of course casual gamers deserve to have there games to but the hardcore need to survive.
Now when it comes to pc free 2 play is the way and I am seeing free 2 play games that look like $60 games or better.
Ironic Sony is making a free 2 play game.

These graphics with 2000 players huge maps & you can only purchase custom looks for your armor & can't buy guns.
That to me that is a big blow to $60 shooters.
But I guess sony was just playing? I am confused.
but then again I guess he is only talking ps4 & not the whole industry.
rambling mode deactivated......
Yet their DC MMO is now free 2 play and Dust 514 was changed to free 2 play. Hmmmmm
