It started with thinking your CEO is on your side [b][TRUE][/b]. Why did sunsetting fail? It was half-baked. You think that's what the devs wanted [b][TRUE][/b]? No [b][TRUE][/b]. It failed because we literally had gaps in archetypes and burns with matchgame still in play [b][TRUE][/b]. They were rushed, divided onto all these side projects that were shuttered and canned [b][TRUE][/b]. Put the senior devs on the new ****. To further undermine the quality and production efficiency of your flagship franchise [b][TRUE][/b]. Stupid, unless it's on purpose [b][TRUE][/b]. Investing in not easily dissolvable capital assets like commercial real-estate and corporate condos [b][TRUE][/b]? Stupid, unless it's on purpose [b][TRUE][/b]. Killing your QA, networking, and security teams [b][TRUE][/b]? Fine, if you still make a billion dollars. I'm being sarcastic with that last example, still this is where we are at. Until Sony decides what to do. Full purge, or start rebuilding and outsourcing now [b][TRUE][/b]. As an example... Andy Wilson did a full purge at Bioware, shelved Mass Effect... Dragon Age flopped... no one respects the Bioware name anymore. So, my advice to Sony would be get rid of the CEO... might be in the process of doing that [b][HAPPENED][/b], btw... there are reports, [i]nothing[/i] [b]definitive[/b]... (strikethrough html tags [s], [/s], <s>, </s>, don't work here 'strike' "nothing" in italics). And then invest now. Rebuild now.[/quote] Almost a full purge. I was pretty much right about everything, here's one receipt. Luckily, they kept some of the important talent. It wasn't a full purge.
