GGG writes about why all the layoffs and high-profile employee departures at Sony's first party studios recently have them worried.
"The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher JanduSoft and indie games developer Juan-Mod, are today very glad and proud to announce that their 3D arcade action-platformer "Teared", is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord brings back the classic experience with revamped graphics and other improvements.
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Sony is restructuring. Ps4 is a massive success and the ps3 is a massive success so making hard choices and the right moves are essential. They have morpheus on the horizon also which has massive hype and support behind it more so now that Oculus Rift has lost a lot of support and hype
Some short sighted people and fanboys might be trying to cause fake ruckus and alarm about some people leaving sony at the moment but sony needs to get rid of people who are costing them more than they need to spend.
Thousands of people work for SCE so a handful of people making bloated pay cheques and are easily replaceable by competent people at the end of their contracts can't be getting pay increases so they must be let go if they want a salary increase. They might also be let go because sony can hire people at a cheaper rate that can do as good as a job
I think it's awesome sony are doing the things they need to do to bring gamers awesome gaming hardware and software. They've been restructuring studios and selling off buildings for a very good reason. It's unfortunate people are losing jobs and such but sacrifices must be made to make sony stronger . playstation 3 is a success when sony was losing a lot of money so imagine what Sony will do with ps4 while making sony mass profits
Normal cycle of things. Egos get big, people leave. Projects are completed, people leave.
Time will tell
It's called change, at some point some people crave it. Do game journalist have to sensationalize everything?
Evolution Studios laying off staff especially when Driveclub isn't out is worrying. The rest of studios laying off staff is just Sony reducing costs.
