How many people did they hire during Covid? Was Sony one the tech companies that did?

EA is letting 5% of its staff go. Let’s find a way to blame this on Sony.

If Sony sold more consoles, maybe those poor EA employees would have a job?

EA cancelled the Star Wars FPS Respawn was working on. Lots of delusion that this means Respawn can get back on Titanfall 3, and as much as I love that idea, the existence of Apex makes me think they won't return to Titanfall, at least any time soon.

With the current market for FPS being awful, they could make so much money on a new Titanfall game.

I think someone that had left Respawn said they had been working on 3 but it got scrapped. They also said it wasn't anything ground breaking.

I've never played TItanfall, but I can't think of an FPS that am dying to play, come to think of it. I play COD and I will finish my second playthrough of Cyberpunk real soon, but I've been looking at more third person games lately.

Titanfall 2 really is a great FPS. Not sure if the online is still active but the campaign is one of my favorites of the last gen and I play a lot of shooters.

Or maybe actually offer to help customers beyond greeting them at the front door. I can't tell you how many times I've been to the one on Millerville and been ignored (and by "ignored" I mean, they don't even turn to acknowledge me) by groups of employees just chatting together in a group while I am obviously looking for something.

Make more games like FF7 rebirth, Helldivers, and Stellar blade and I have a feeling it’ll be ok. Stop making women ugly as frick and stories where a tranny gets arse fricked in a house boat by her ex with a 8 month preggo gf of own. It’s also almost 100% a good bit of these are DEI hires and problem makers. If Sony does the former they willl be swimming in money. Did Sp2 need trans flags and side quest where we played as a deaf girl? No. Heads gottaroll

I hate the console wars jerk offs but I mostly play Sony and man they’ve been massively saved by 2nd 3rd party and Indy this gen. Now talking about ps5 is in “later stages” of cycle. Yup frick yourself pull that I’ll buy a max pc available at the time and just suffer waits for final fantasy.
