Hideo should embrace Linux Gaming at this point. Changing blue to green would not yield him success.
Hideo needs money. He can support Linux all he wants but he needs the money to make the game first.
“Please don’t ever buy a PlayStation again! We want you to hate us” -PlayStation execs for some fucking reason.
They aren’t trying to get you to spend money on them. They are going after the guy that thinks buying thousands of FIFA 24 packs is a sound investment.
And then immediately after that they put out the Wolverine game. XD
Hey, it’s Sony again. Can we piss away any remaining goodwill you guys have?
I wouldn’t want to keep feeding Kojima millions upon millions for his vanity projects either, to be honest.
Strange that Xbox decided to pay up.
They’re really interesting, well thought out games. They are art. That being said, they’re not system sellers and they don’t have the mass appeal of some other aaa games. They certainly don’t rake in mtx money either.
But the the thing is, doing those types of things that create good will and loving fans (however niche) make people forget, even a little, that these corpos are dickbags and we shouldn’t give them our money. Not every new game can break sales records. They need to keep good games on their system or they’ll go the way of Sega.
I agree! Except, Sega had great games, it just had poor timing in the console race with Saturn and Dreamcast.
kojima is a hack.
listen i love the mechanics of his games. the attention to detail, the art direction.
but his stories are kinda crap. his best games were made when he was forced to answer to authority. when given cart balanche he meanders around the plot, gets distracted, dumps the narrative to chase some shinyer meta narrative that is not set up, and never ever pays off. and i have played all his games always hoping to get back to that high of the original metal gear solid, or metal gear solid 3 (fuck you metal gear solid 2). and Death Stranding stole its world building from Blades in the Dark.
i can spend hours dissecting his overrated ass
Kojima isn’t much different, sure he loves making games, but he will happily see you part with your money. Sony and the media just turned him into some kind of legend and developed a cult following around him. His games are what you said, his and his teams art, but they don’t live up to the hype and anticipation the media generates. They would be well suited as self-published niche games, rather than forced AAA titles.
Xbox? The same Xbox that cut it’s game studios into pieces?
Yes, but two key things here
- They are not owned by Xbox and therefore can’t be cut. Xbox could only end their partnership.
- Sony literally just did that to them lol
As a last resort?
I got your reference/joke and I want you to know this and feel affirmed.
In an attempt to suffocate what is left of their user base.
They certainly don’t seem to give a fuck
The rise of Liquidated Snake

PlayStation is making some choices these days.
I mean, I guess it’s deal with an actively hostile gaming company or deal with a flailing dumbass gaming company.
There is a third option.
