PS Plus gets criticised for a lack of triple-A games, but those complaining are missing the point. It's best seen as a home for indie gems like this one.
Zelnick and Slatoff have received a $25m bonus for their management fund after sacking 550 people from Take Two Interactive.
550 probably consultants.
GTA6 is in tweak phase, no need for massive number of people for that.
I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.
That would be the way to do it. Imagine thinking a CEOs "leadership" is worth that much money while the talent makes the product.
Insanity.
I remember when I started working, my department manager used to gift us stuff each year, one year I got a bottle of Scotch, another it was a small basket of treats... But that was also a lot less money than what we're talking about here.
It would be ideal if the CEO could gift a bonus to everyone under them.
CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.
That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...
In a time when Rockstar has forgotten everything else except GTA and RDR, it's about time the developer got back to some of its gems.
Wonder what happened to the leaked medieval game that they were working on ... hope that's still on going and gets released sometime after GTA VI
Seeing as how it's been like 12yrs between releases, i don't think taking even more time is a good decision for the series
So make one GTA every human generation instead of every other console generation?
Come on...
Krafton CEO : 'It's a team that should be encouraged to create something new and continue their journey.'
Original title : 'We don't think Hi-Fi Rush 2 is going to make us money:' Krafton CEO says Tango Gameworks acquisition is about legacy
I’m wonder if Microsoft fully sold the Hi-Fi Rush IP. They kept the publishing rights of the original game. I don’t even understand why the IP was sold. MS could have had another of its menagerie of studios do another Hi-Fi game, despite such a thing being unlikely.
It was given for free on gamepass. It didn’t sell well. Look at starfield it only sold 2.5 million because of gamepass
Starfield did $235 million in revenue on Steam alone from Sept-December 2023. So I’m sure it sold considerably more than 2.5 million copies.

Yes, it did sell well. GP version has a fraction of the reviews that the Deluxe Edition (more expensive purchase version of original) has. If anything, it shows that more people actually bought the Deluxe version than played the GP version, on Xbox at least.
Limbo, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and Gone home say hi 🙌
downloaded, but haven't played it yet, though.
People are complaining that we don't ever seem to get AAA games. The last one was recent, NBA 2k, but it's a sports game isn't everyone's thing. Before that though, what was the last real AAA game for PS+? the general consensus is that ever since the PS4 has become popular, and PS+ has become mandatory to play online, the game being offered have been well below par, compared to what used to be offered. Sony hasn't needed to try as hard since the service is no longer optional to people, unless you aren't playing online. I got one am a bit sick of Indie games, "gems" or not.
What, are we talking about games freshly release on PS4 via PS+? Becuase there are a few great games that were free for PS+ after Rocket League.
Reminds of afro samurai where he don't talk but someone else talks instead. I only beat the 1st 2 but wish there was more enemies free roaming.
