Popular Post Pariah_Dark Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Yes, The current president of SIE, Jim Ryan needs to go. Look at all the negative things that have happened under his watch in the two short years he's been at the head: - PS5 exclusives raise to $70 - Japan Studio stripped to it's bare bones - Legacy psn stores closing - Killzone franchise retired - Days Gone 2 denied - Web store gets downgraded - game patches starting to disappear due to legacy stores closing soon - Currently killing any hope for full backward compatibility despite according to two patents they are working on solutions. - Turned down Kojima's next game (allegedly) - Closing the video/movie rental store DESPITE LITERALLY just starting a new video service on their new bravia televisions. Under this man's leadership, I can't think of a single good thing that he pushed. I've never seen a company leader pull off such levels of self-sabotage before. It's as if this man has no idea what made the Playstation brand the household name it is. And this final part is me speaking for myself personally. But as of now, I see no reason to ever buy a ps5 or anything Sony puts out beyond this point. They've shown me they have no follow through.

Popular Post lucky0ne16 Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) i am thinking the same way, the way sony is handling the studios being brought out by Microsoft is looking to be a bad sign for sony to come unless sony does something in return. i wanted a new Killzone and days gone game Edited April 12, 2021 by lucky0ne16 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trophy hunters are a very small portion of PlayStation and what are we gonna do? Not buy their stuff? I know I'll still be a Sony lover at the end of the day. All Sony sees is he is boosting profits, and they'll keep him. You may take my extra $10. You may take my PS3 and Vita stores. But I'll be damned if I stand by and let my beloved Japan Studios suffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some gamers are having a temper tantrum, doesnt mean this guy is leaving. If he's boosting profits, hes doing a good job. Its a business. Things have to change over time.

Popular Post snakebit10 Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Maybe I am the only one but I can see the reason for the $10 increase on games. Kinda expected it last gen. These things are getting very expensive to develop. I don't know much on the corporate side of things but, would this be a decision that Jim Ryan could make on his own? 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not half of these executive decisions rest on the shoulders of Jim Ryan, it does still raise concerns for the future of PlayStation and how decisions will be made from here on out. It took nothing for them to give such short notice for the store closures—not even a year heads up at that—and all during a time period where some people aren’t as lucky as others to get all of the games they want. And you seem to be the one who needs to grow up if you’re shaming gamers for having genuine concern for the future of the very consoles we play on; I’d at least expect everyone in this online community to agree on some level, but I suppose it’s elitist losers like you who are okay with company sabotage. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LoveInHell Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Add these too: -update on PS4 where we can’t see people playing on PS3 and Vita systems (because they want people to forget these systems) -stopped supporting the PS Vita way too early -5 months before closure they tell us the closure of the PS3 store, they don’t even have the respect to tell us much sooner AND they still wont give PS3 discounts because they know people are going berserk now buying digital PS3 games -web store went to shit: design is terrible, not enough info, wish list is gone, it’s gotten to the point people are using a different web store made by a random person online (ahem Nathaniel). -PS phone app went to shit: notifications don’t work, store isn’t showing enough info, can’t see friend’s list, no activity feed, no customisation (profile background). 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why I didn't bother replying to him. Apparently, voicing concern is equal to having a tantrum. Heck I can afford the games I want, but I still see the major problems arising here. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeedersPhD Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Welcome to capitalism, where the money is made up and the people don't matter. Once you learn that corporations ruin everything they touch, you'll start to realize why you can't get attached to things like this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Theladozz Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Crazy how one of the main things that attracted me to PS, which is having all games under the same service instead of scattered across multiple like steam, epic etc, is what might ultimately push me away from it. I just can't trust sony anymore to not pull the carpet from under my feet shutting down PSN for vita and PS3 with very little heads up and no provided alternatives... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it’s like clockwork...you have an opinion or genuine concern for something on here and you’ll instantly get bombarded with negative responses for no reason other than someone wanting to stand out and be the cool, pretentious gamer. And who knows, you may or may not be right when saying Jim Ryan could be the major factor into these business decisions being made, but it still doesn’t change the fact that problems similar to the ones mentioned will continue into the future. Time will tell. And same here, I’m lucky enough to be able to spend my money on every game I want before the store shutdown, but at the same time I’m also thinking about all of the gamers who aren’t fortunate enough to do the same. Your concern is warranted and is at least being heard by those who care too. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tony_snake_24 Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 You should add: - No longer able to see ps3 and vita players online from ps4 and ps5 - Idiotic censorship resulting in japanese games and developers moving away from Playstation - Unprofessionally sold Vita devkits despite store closures and gave no warnings to developers of Vita games set to relesease this year, resulting in cancelled games and ports and potentially indie developers moving away from Playstation 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
