| the-pi-guy said: A lot of over the top takes with regards to Jim Ryan. I think very little would have changed if someone else was in charge. Consolidation and live service games have been a growing part of the industry. Japan Studio had been getting downsized for years, well before Jim Ryan. Not that he shouldn't be blamed for anything. With that said, there have been some positives the past few years. PlayStation Studios has expanded a lot. Might not have diversified in a great way, and there are a handful of weaknesses personally and otherwise. But overall, I think it's hard to argue that PlayStation Studios isn't in a better spot. |
You are perfectly right on that. Most of what happened would happen anyway, but certainly he was aligned or pushing in that direction (which a lot of us don't like much, but financially for a company it makes sense).
