Sony hate thread

腐女子 (fu-jo-shi) literally means "rotten woman" as in, is the kanji for decaying/corruption/degeneracy.
Surprisingly enough, I assumed the male counterpart of the term (腐男子 - fu-dan-shi) would be the reverse, but it turns out that those men are "rotten" for liking male homosexuality as well. Basically, it's a-okay for anyone In Japan to enjoy lesbianism (aka Yuri - 百合, also a flower's name), less so in gay men (more commonly referred as BL aka Boys Love).
that's not so uncommon, even in porn today some girl shlicking each other considered more or less "normal" while dudes blowing each other less so. or how it's ok for girls to have certain "experiences" in college while saying you fucked a dude will always get you weird looks at best.

I assume it's a gender/role perception thing in how women are seen and treated, remember girls are pure and idols are seiso, everything's ok as long they're not near any penishavers.
 
That really explains japan's modern demographic extinction event.

SMT (Mainline)
Mainline SMT actually started out as Nintendo exclusive, with some of the spinoff series showing up on other platforms like Saturn. It was only exclusive to Playstation during the PS2 era when that console dominated everything. It went right back to Nintendo afterward.
 
Sony has just brought Firewalk studios, who are already knee-deep into making a GaaS for them. Sound like a good team, can't wait for their game to flop horribly.

I looked at their website, https://www.firewalkstudios.com/, and there's only a bunch of filler corporate speak BS like:
Firewalk Studios is a new game development studio whose mission is to spark incredible multiplayer experiences that inspire memorable moments. We believe the brightest memories in gaming often come from playing and sharing experiences with each other. We are excited to be part of ProbablyMonsters, and we are currently working on an unannounced, original IP that is being published by our partners at Sony Interactive Entertainment. We look forward to sharing more about our latest project in the future.

and plenty of stuff about them raising hundreds of millions of dollars, and employment, but nothing at all about any games they've actually worked on.

From what I could find, they are ex Activision and Bungie, and are going to work with Bungie and Haven Studios. Probably more shitty 'live service' stuff
 
All rich countries do, along with some poor ones (lol USSR). China really fucked itself with one child and brought this all about decades earlier than it "should" have.
this, it's not a nip problem, as much as people like to funpost about it. only difference it's more obvious since it's not propped up by "new japanese" with an immigration background bringing in 3+ kids and pumping out 3 more. I remember the "demographical change" was a big topic over in my yuro-country 20-30 years ago or so, but they've been quite mum about it since.

only reason it's spread as a talking point is social security being a pyramid scheme, if you don't have the large base of young people paying into the pot it would mean fucked pensions and welfare (unless you prepared privately) and government actually having to reign in spending (good luck with that). otherwise it's just the normal progression of a population that will invert at some point on it's own, but no one wants to deal with the dip.

studios like that usually like to show of how much "talent" they have acquired, usually with a list of big name AAA games as PR buzzwords. sony is not buying anything concrete, they're buying the "potential" those people could produce (and who knows how the projects in development will turn out).

it's similar to buying bungie for their "GAAS expertise"...

This has less to do with girls being pure and seiso and more with the general idea that girl on girl is considered hot, while guy on guy isn't. That and its generally held that women in general are more bisexually inclined than men, thus a girl "experimenting" in college is just considered a common phase. In the same sense, romantic friendship among girls, commonly call "Class S", are more acceptable in Japan. That being said, as far as Japan is concerned, girls engaging in romantic friendship are expected to treat said relationships like preparation for "real" relationships with men later, and a girl who holds on to such a relationship as an adult is seen as immature.

Demographic transition isn't a uniquely Chinese problem, no. What is uniquely Chinese is how the one child policy has played havoc with China's demography, and caused it to enter the transition far earlier than normal. All the countries facing the problem of aging populations and diminishing birthrates are rich, developed countries...all except China, which is literally growing old before its getting rich.

I don't know how investors don't just look at something like Anthem and say "you'd better fucking show something original that has the slightest chance of a return our investment before we hand you a single red cent"

They only see Destiny making bank (because there is no competition) and want in on that.

slightly off topic but this is the kind of philosophy at Bungie these days, this is what all these companies want
Skip to 48 minutes for the absolute worst part. This is why Sony bought them, this is what all AAA studios want now.

That's not something I expected. I always thought it was because of a combination of incompetence and penny pinching execs, not because they actually choose nail their dick to the floor.

Normies have strong brand loyalty, and while PS has fuck all for exclusives, that doesn't matter to them because it still gets most of the multiplatform releases anyway.

That being said, ever notice how a lot of the games that get big with zoomers, like Roblox, Minecraft, FNAF, Wizard 101, and whatever else tend to either start on PC, or eventually wind up in a lesser form on consoles? PlayStation sure as shit isn't capturing the current youth's nostalgia, which is pretty damn important on building lifelong brand loyalty. I always thought it was capital R Retarded that they didn't tightly hang onto Crash Bandicoot; he was their defacto mascot until he just kinda wasn't. Nintendo, and even Microsoft have their own established brands to fall back on when they aren't doing so hot.
