[RUMOUR] FairGame$ has been cancelled
>"They didn't buy people who know how to make live service games. And then they turned all their console developers into live service developers, which resulted in Concord being shut down. and the studio being shut down. Uh, which resulted in Jade Raymond being let go and her game cancelled. Uh, they are bad managers. They don't know what they're doing."

Video game industry is the best evidence that it is indeed possible to be rich and successful while also being a massive fucking retard.

Funny how all of GaaS titles except for Bungie's got cancelled, seeing how Bungie was put in charge of approving those GaaS titles for final release.

I dont even know why the media and devs are "like muh cancelled game its over for us" They still got paid all the way along. Its not like they only get paid when the game comes out.

Even a "rumor" needs a link or something

"Just trust me bro" doesn't cut it

That's wild, I saw real predictions that it'd get cancelled 2-3 months after Jade left.

Hermen Hulst not only being a sony head honcho, but still employed is genuinely outrageous.

please god this would be so funny

So it is confirmed to come out.

>>718229772
Context?

>>718230672
If it comes out it'll flop so I don't think so. Sony really doesn't want to disappoint investors again after Concord

>Have 14 studios across the States and Europe

At least the guy on the right got me to buy Stellar Blade and AI Limit but he doesn't even work at Sony now. It's over.

Hermen Hulst looks like the devil

LEAVE FAIRGAME$ ALONE

>>718230746
They hyped her up as having a much larger role in the development of the game than she did because she's a woman

you chuds did this!!

>>718232273
and as it always happens with these women, she believed the hype

Sony just seems to employ bunglers who are good at being slimy corporate Yes Men.
Whenever they open their mouths to speak it's just nothing but delusional non-truths that come out. The entire company is deluded, I often wonder how they stay afloat, I really do. Sony is just one big boondoggle after another. Remember Sony Online Entertainment (EverQuest devs)? Remember Station.com? How the fuck did that shit ever make money? They have no iconic IPs, didn't capitalize on the iconic IPs they USED to have decades ago, have no brand identity, Concord was a failure that no-one wanted, you got guys speaking out saying Horizon is "their most important franchise of all time" (deluded!)... I am tempted to say Sony is walking on its limp hind legs only due to Japanaese mafioso money but I think that's clearly obviously so obviously obviously a bridge too far *TOTALLY not sarcasm*.

HAHAHAHAHA!

>>718231602
Wasn't she a studio manager in the past few years? Basically we're not supposed to see the fruits of labor, whether she's a good studio manager or not only the studio knows

>>718229749
he's probably looking at numbers and how long the series has been "relevant", in which case yeah, horizon is one of their most successful and long-lasting franchises
just don't mind the fact that horizon games have been bundled with consoles nonstop, and also that we are living in the remaster slop era and games are stagnating and coming out slower than ever, so a franchise surviving for 8 years no longer means anything

>>718233229
>>718233564
yes the game itself is good even with the ugly hag protag. gameplay will always be king.

>>718229616 (OP)
Kek, when will the industry realise that producers in the game industry are scrum masters and bean counters, they do no creative work. Giving them credit for what the director does is pure retardation and jade became a millionaire from appearing on an E3 stage next to the actual director while being an attractive female.

>>718233768

Did you enjoy replaying the first level over and over again every time you died no matter what level you died in

>>718233817
you can mod her out on pc and the game itself is free :). try it out, you will have a good time.

>>718233768
No one's going to play your game if you can't get them to buy it. Appearances always make the first impression, and my first impression of this >>718233564 is that it's a trannygame, so I don't buy. That simple.

>>718233607
>whether she's a good studio manager or not only the studio knows
kek nice bait

>>718233897
Why would I play a game where the devs have inserted the ugliest pos granny imaginable because they think hot women with big tits are evil? I'm not going to give such faggots my money. Seethe and cope about it.

>>718233894
have you never played a roguelike before? there's a floor anyway after you clear stage 3 where you start at stage 4 instead.

>>718233930
trannies aren't playing a game where they can't be a cute girl. she looks like a tranny, that's like garlic to them, they never want to be reminded of how they actually look.

>>718233986
>I'm not going to give such faggots my money
well good news, it's on pc. you don't have to. imagine going "i'm not playing as a short fat man!!!!" instead of enjoying mario.

I'm not playing slop from a company that hates the female body and is fighting a culture war against sexuality. Stop trying dumb ass bitch, you're embarrassing us.

>>718229616 (OP)
Oh this is why dink made gameindustrybiz release that weird "gamepass is slavery,actually" opinion piece this week.

They also really fucked up letting Naughty Dog drag their feet and do a shit job so they'd never have to deliver a live service last of us because they thought they were too good for the assignment. That was a signal to every other studio that it was ok to do the same. That you can just keep getting paid to deliver nothing. Arkane tried the same with Redfall and Microsoft had the sense to force them to release their shame and then lay the hammer down as a warning to others.

>>718234101
>heh the entire genre is this shit
Not an excuse. I don't want to be replaying level 1 for 3 stages, and then level 4 for 3 more stages apparently. I dunno I quit at level 3 because I'm not autistic enough to keep playing the same level over and over again

I only play chinese games

>>718234210
she has a pretty nice ass for a hag. you're just a fucking retard, this on the same level of not playing something like nine sols or tunic because you think they're degenerate furry games. play games with good gameplay, it's literally free. you do not have to support the developers, you see her face for maybe 10 to 15 minutes over the course of 15 to 20 hours.

you might as well only play gachas with your mindset because everything else is getting censored. all the new weeb releases are all neutered compared to vita games.

>>718229616 (OP)
Source: it's only logical

anyone got an image of the jew director of concord?
seems like all his connections to the game has been removed from the net

>>718235908
He wasn't the director but the lead artist or something.

>>718229772
Facials are shit. Women should happily drink the semen of their loved one.

Sad that Sony wasted an entire generation trying to chase the live service trend and they all failed except for one with Helldivers 2. We could've had more games for the PS5 in the time they wasted on long development times on concord. Now we can only hope they've got games lined up for PS6.

>>718234210
For some reason, this reads like nigger speak.

>>718236887
It's wild too that they almost destroyed helldivers 2 after a succesful launch with the psn account stuff.

>>718232817
The games sector of Sony is not the entirety of Sony. I have no knowledge on whether the wider Sony company is as incompetent or delusional as the games sector.

>>718229616 (OP)
watching Hulst fail up the corporate ladder gives me hope I can do the same

>>718236969
They technically did destroy it right then. Playerbase cratered after that and most didn't seem to have bothered picking the game back up even after they reversed course.

>>718237020
SIE only makes a "profit" off leeching microtransaction money. And most of their terrible decisions came from listening to the western division and moving the core of playstation over to CA away from JP management.

>>718236435
found him

>>718237614
the guy was a gameplay designer, he's never worked on anything art related in his career.
for how much this board obsessed over concord they mess up basic facts very easily.

>>718233768
>yes the game itself is good
its mediocre

repetetive, god awful story and 0 build variety

also dosnt help i finished it on my first run despite it being a roguelike, since the enemies are so simple nothing stops you to just run straight to the first ending on your first try once you finish the turorial

I still can't get over how the name "Fairgames" sounds like some sort of gaming related charity event rather than an actual video game.

>>718237020
Name one thing Sony makes that you desire right now and DON'T say a $1999 Walkman (lmfao?)

>>718230746
Attractive female in an administrative role was propped up as a mascot and a mouthpiece to the point that the game was directly associated with her when she had nothing to do with the actual development of the game, making it extremely blatant that it was only because she was attractive.
Even now, they simply shifted the wording so that she "helped create Assassin's Creed" instead of being "the creator of Assassin's creed."

actual deranged leftist levels of purity testing and retardation. follow your own advice.

>>718234430
it is an excuse retard, if you don't like the genre then don't play it. But don't pretend you hate it because this specific game is bad. You hate the genre, which means you hate all games in it.

If you google him (which I just did) every entry and I mean every single one across the game's entire development and failure (even Playstation's official marketing, interviews, etc.) calls him
>Lead Character Designer
only his own LinkedIn mysteriously titles him as
>Lead Gameplay Character Designer
and it is not hard to guess why. The actual Gameplay Designer was a guy named Claude Jerome.

You know if you just changed tranny to trans, you could even get away with posting this on bluesky because it's true
I genuinely do not get where fags on /v/ got the idea that the people trying to get rid of hot women are the trannies.

If they did kill fairgames, that's probably the smartest thing Sony have done in a while.

>>718242554
well yeah there's a whole section dedicated to art credits, which he isn't under

>>718242230
nah, you know how the left is throwing a fit over sydney sweeney being too attractive? you're doing the horseshoe theory equivalent. it's a fucking commercial, they're retarded for caring. it's actually worse to get upset over a fun game because the main character is ugly and that's it. there's no woke propaganda, she's just ugly. that's why i brought up purity testing, acting like it's fucking veilguard is a joke.

Why do these AAA companies keep dumping massive amounts of money into live service games before even knowing if they are going to be popular? The model has always been launch modest but expand quickly if the audience bites.

>>718246489
Because the bar for live service games has raised exponentially and people aren't willing to give games more than 1 chance. When you have to compete against games with 7 years worth of content, you need a really good/fun/polished experience to win people over.

It's the World of Warcraft conundrum. How do you steal players away from something they're already invested in and has more things to do?

>>718245806
Generals and cyclical threads will always inevitably breed a small amount of faggotry. The only difference is the people who would, in the bygone days, be tripfags evolved into regular fags.

>their half assed attempt to release lower budget titles like last year's astrobot are doa because they've alienated the audience that cared about this type of game and no one cares about AA titles in the playstation ecosystem anymore
they're completely fucked but their braindead fanbase will defend them because they get a lot of money from their cut on chink gachas and fifa microtransactions

>>718246489
Because fortnite made a shitton of money. So if they outspend the competition, surely they will have the next fortnite and also have a shitton of money. The money people see that "live service" makes a lot of money, therefore they make life service. Same how everyone and their mother is cramming AI into their products right now.

But don't worry, the industry has finally wisened up the reality of the market: They've seen that Roblox makes a shitton of money, so now they're pivoting to "user generated content".

Job listings say the game is still in development. Maybe they are still desperate to get this game off the ground

>>718229616 (OP)
I may sound annoying but why Helldivers 2 survived while the rest of them closed?
Concord, Hyenas and that tlou multiplayer that never saw the light.
what makes helldivers 2 special?

Meanwhile Xbox is thriving with their game releases. Sony fell too deep into their DEI woke slop phase.

Sony's Playstation division gets 1.5 billion USD every quarter just from third-party microtransactions. They could poop out 1 whole Fairgame$ turd every month and be fine because there's too many paypiggies on the system. And this is pre-GTA6 which will have GTAO:2.

Good.

They made 14B in profit that year. Double Disney with half the market cap. Litterally no, they could have had 27 Concords and still made 500m more than you. Life's much less poltarded when you look at it through numbers.

>>718250791
Huge trouble is a vast overstatement. For the record, I'm a PCnigger and not a snoy and yeah, of course no company wants to lose money but Sony obviously has a FUCK TON of paypiggies and shills willing to ride or die with them. Keep in mind that Playstation's profits + profit margins have been going UP these last 5 years after the PS5 released despite inflation and them spending a gorillion bucks on live-service flops because again, other countries and their people will gladly pay for microtransactions in the PS ecosystem. They are basically Valve and Steam at this point; not needing to make their own games and able to subsist on PSN+ subs and MTX/store revenue. Also, Sony themselves are a Jap company and all their money is still priced in JPY which is still in the fucking gutter, so customers spending money in USA/Europe/China is like a 2-3 times money multiplier. This is also why they don't give a shit about Japan, because they lost to Nintendo + JPY is dogshit right now.

manchildren who only pay attention to nerd shit and culture war garbage are embarrassing, someone will post basic info you could easily find anywhere and then get a bunch of posts screeching about how it can't possibly be true because they watched a video by niggerfaggot69 that said that the company was gonna go bankrupt

Haha, bro. You are clearly uneducated and poor. I wouldnt be throwing stones. Im litterally quoting quarterly reports to shareholders, they absolutely dont count 3rd parties.
Why are uneducated Americans like this?

To be fair, you probably have met someone but the games leave no lasting impression, besides nobody would feel proud about playing either, much less buying it in the first place.

Really? I really liked the story but gameplay was 6/10 at best. I was so surprised to learn it was the ps4s best selling title at 40m. Anons always talk about the system pairing but the fact it beat GoW is insane to me.

>>718252331
Ive never thought how currency fluctuations could impact demographic targeting, interesting.
Only thing I disagree with is you specifically calling out snoys. Whole industry is going GAAS, MMO or gacha. Rebirth flopping while the AI made FF7 mobile gacha printed was the final straw for me. 90% of gamers are paypigs and it will destroy it for the rest of us. Sony may be the worstafter mobile, tendies the best, but its still everywhere.
