Well it is relatively irrelevant to SCE's overall strategy. Heck, SOE is not even among worldwide studios' inner circle. That said, though, I find it very peculiar that you're counting posts. |
This is going to be my last post in the thread on this "is it a big deal" narrative because it's just petty what some are saying. The problem with the post you made here and posts others like Kerotan or Roronaaaaa are making is that you're making them entirely from a defensive, almost damage controlling point of view, as if this represents an attack on Sony or something. This can be a big deal to many people and the industry in general, and also be a wise move by Sony. It doesn't have to be "irrelevant" or "not a big deal" or "LOL shouldve sold them sooner!!". Using the same logic you guys are using, Microsoft splitting with Bungie was irrelevant, and not a big deal. I mean, another capable company is making Halo now, and Bungie has moved on to Destiny, which is also on MS platforms. So who cares, right?
But it was a big deal because it gave Bungie freedom and allowed many others to experience their games. Anyone who is either a fan of Daybreak games or was looking forward to playing one or more of them on PC or PS4, can now look forward to possibly playing an even better game than they'd have gotten otherwise. And any Xbone owner who maybe thought H1Z1 or Planetside 2 look cool, well hey maybe now they'll get a chance to play them. And with that increased revenue, perhaps the PC and PS4 versions of those games are even better as more money is pumped into them? And who knows what other projects this increased revenue will bring them.
And of course that is not even touching the fact that it has to be a big deal to Daybreak themselves to move to another publisher who surely has more money than Sony does.
Regarding the bolded, silly goose, if I were counting posts then I wouldn't have been wondering how many it took. Hope that helps.
