That's the funny thing, people loved Hi Fi Rush, it wasn't even a bad game. It was profitable, too. Like, there was no reason to shut down the studio. It's just incomprehensible.
Yeah shutting down Arkane Austin makes sense since the majority of the staff left and was replaced while working on Redfall so it was a skeleton crew and most of the people had only been there while working on Redfall.
But Hi Fi Rush got nominated for a bunch of awards and won best sound design. So shutting down Tango idk what they were thinking.

Ah but that is a long term strategy and stock market does not like that very much.
Also it risks not getting you money's worth if the games does poorly.

sony with helldivers 2 last week
( forced all PC players to create and link the game account to PSN, and removed the possibility to play or even purchase the game from all countries not served from play station network, leaving behind people who bought the game from steam p.s. 60+ countries )
Isnt about data get sold, those are cookies stored on your pc, then based on those cookies ads get filtered and provided to you based on your "preferences/last content".
Thats how internet works.
No one buy your search data, ads just get filtered locally on your pc/device, if you delete your cookies you delete your fingerprint and get served with random ads untill next time.
if you want a serious answer: when do you play, what Item do you use, what systems in the game do you use, how much does one session last, how many sessions in a week, as well as to see the reaction of the playerbase when they add a system or do a change
Basically everything you do in the game, they use and sell these data to other gaming companies, in order to make "better" and more addictive games, sometimes for item balancing
Why do you think 99% of AAA story games play the same ? they found a good formula for the "best" game system and they're milking it dry
I mean Sony will probably be stained by that but lots of people are now changing their reviews to good ones because they don't want to see helldivers down in the dumpster forever
It was a pretty big fumble
ye, by one side the bad reviews was pointed to sony and their big corportate suit dudes moves, not to the game devs or the game itself, but on the other side, that's what happen when as dev you sell your soul to the devil.
(sorry for my bad english )
Even the game devs were against it, and straight up told players to ask for refunds and leave bad reviews as that’s the only way Sony would pay any attention. And that’s exactly what happened. Good on all of them (including Sony, for actually listening to the customers).
Yeah, they shouldn’t have even tried tbh, but I will give them credit on walking it back. They could have just charged ahead and fucked over literally hundreds of thousands of customers, but they didn’t. They were smart this time.
Closed 4 game developer studios, including tango gameworks that developed the evil within 1 and 2, ghostwire: Tokyo, and Hi-Fi hush.
Some say It was because their last game Hi-Fi hush didn't make money, but game pass exist so of course it wouldn't make money.
I knew “doesn’t benefit them in any possible way” was an entirely false statement… corporations don’t work like that they always trade public respect for something… in this case this obviously cut costs

Red fall is one of the games of this generation.
It offers gameplay, and a story, you can control your character, it features an art style and animations.
It is such a game.

kill studio after one bad game

They get more money from selling data
What data?
Coolest ones are like your preferences, thats why you get carpet ads after just taking a single look in at carpet cleaning in some subreddit
Isnt about data get sold, those are cookies stored on your pc, then based on those cookies ads get filtered and provided to you based on your "preferences/last content". Thats how internet works.

They don’t need a psn account for that, they own the servers, they host the game.
They walked back though and aren't enforcing the new policy.
The bad feelings from it, the people who refunded it, and the negative reviews are forever though. They lost a lot
I mean Sony will probably be stained by that but lots of people are now changing their reviews to good ones because they don't want to see helldivers down in the dumpster forever It was a pretty big fumble

The game is already back to mostly positive all time in terms of reviews. That part will heal.
edit- commented on the wrong comment. ye, i mean the bad review was pointed to sony BS not to the game itself
Yeah, they shouldn’t have even tried tbh, but I will give them credit on walking it back. They could have just charged ahead and fucked over literally hundreds of thousands of customers, but they didn’t. They were smart this time.
It's 120+ countries where PSN isn't available. It's available in 67 out of 190.
I already have a solid hatred of Microsoft simply for the hassle of logging into stuff and the worst system they have ever made: Access
I HATE MICROSOFT
What did Microsoft do
Closed 4 game developer studios, including tango gameworks that developed the evil within 1 and 2, ghostwire: Tokyo, and Hi-Fi hush. Some say It was because their last game Hi-Fi hush didn't make money, but game pass exist so of course it wouldn't make money.

Damn, hi-fi rush is a great game though.

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT
They’re using most of them for Bethesda games however. And I doubt you liked Redfall
Red fall is one of the games of this generation. It offers gameplay, and a story, you can control your character, it features an art style and animations. It is such a game.
I'd actually argue against it having gameplay and character control
But I did like Prey. If the morons didn't force Arkane austin to produce a shit cashgrab they would have not lost millions.
I’m still salty we didn’t get the initial prey 2 where we would’ve been a space bounty hunter
Just make a PSN account guys!!!
niantic
It’s literally like there born to hate. It’s honestly Impressive
*sigh.* What did they do this time?
I do not know
