It’s claimed that Chinese investors now believe AAA gaming is “the new golden egg”.
After a magnificent 20-year tenure with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Phil Rosenberg, SVP of Global Partner Development and Relations, recently announced that he is bidding adieu at the end of 2025. Phil has been a stalwart and integral part of growing the PlayStation brand and, along with this team, has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure all gamers enjoy a vibrant experience on a variety of PlayStation products.
It's pure speculation on behalf of the author of this opinion piece and it hold no weight at all.
@lukasmain
Im curious how you can make that comment when he specifically mentions Blackmyth? No weight at all? Either...
A. You can't read
B. You're letting blind loyalty take point
C. You just didn't read it
D. You're trolling
He never suggested a special exclusivity deal. Far from it. The author is just speculating.
@Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place. If he's going out and finding niche or "hidden gems" BMW should of released only on PS5 since its considered a hidden gem that could only be played on PS console just like the rest of the other games he mentioned. The game was announced awhile ago as a multiplat. The S of late has been holding its own with third party and 1st party games. It's also clear that the S did have issues for awhile also and maybe GS really can't optimize for the console. I'm just exploring every possibility.
Hmm, I dunno at the end of the day. The S has been performing well optimization wise lately. I dunno it's hard to tell anymore what's, what.
There is no way in high hell Sony would pay money for this, something so successful and not advertise it as an exclusive console game. There's just no way, they've done it for everything else, why would they not do it for this.
It's people who can't let a story go, there's no deal, they just probably supported a new Chinese studio with their China Hero Project and give them tools to help develop on their console. If Microsoft came along and offered them the same tools early on for their console I'm sure Sony wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Sony took a chance on a new studio early on and they benefitted from it, that's their reward.

Phantom Blade Zero dev S-Game admits there is now more pressure on the studio and game due to Black Myth Wukong's success.
Bruh chinese always made mad cashbif you count gacha games the $$$ it brings is crazy.
When Chinese action game Phantom Blade Zero was first revealed to the world, it drew countless comparisons to FromSoftware's Souls games, to the point its director (the appropriately-nicknamed "Soulframe" Liang) had to repeatedly downplay the influence. More recently, as more of Phantom Blade Zero has been shown, it's been compared favourably to the Ninja Gaiden series for its combo-led combat. So where exactly does it sit on this spectrum?
Black Myth WuKong was great. Even if they don’t surpass it and just come close to as good that is a win in my eyes as that’s how good Black Myth was to me
Phantom Blade Zero made the bold decision to include difficult settings so this instantly opens up the game to more people and increased potential of success. Given that Black Myth WuKong was a low 80s rated game this leaves a lot of room for a higher score.
