Sony Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden said some first-party titles in the future 'may need to lean into a wider install base'.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

Understandable and its MP titles so good idea but SP needs to be exclusive
Hmmmm, starting with MP games, some Sony first party going Multiplat? we are living in some interesting times it seems. It feels a lot like Sony is saying a lot of the same things MS is saying and I don’t know how their diehard fans will react to this. Doom and gloom like when MS has been talking about their games going on other platforms?
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. MS was right and the industry is changing and its not just about console sales anymore. It’s all about user engagement. We will see it even more with the new streaming services being released and upgraded PSnow which are gonna make consoles optional and engagement is gonna drive your bottom line.
Sony's FP dont even make multiplayer games. Unless they are taking about Chinese games that will come on the system.
Jumping to conclusions would be very dumb. They could be taking about games as Knack going to mobile or something like that.
People taking this as confirmation that MS is doing "the right thing" are very sick on their minds.
