I feel like this is a different kind of shoehorning tbh and it's not true, I have seen more PS fans dancing on its grave than I have seen xbox or Nintendo fans. Probably because the studio is the tip of the GAAS spear that Jim invested heavily in, the same spear that gets blamed, rightly or wrongly, for SIE's poor output. 

If it was Sony players not wanting GAAS Helldivers 2 would have received some flack too. Helldivers 2 is perhaps their most successful game this year so suggesting it's because Sony players not wanting GAAS is ignorant of that fact? 

Yes.

You basically have to ignore Helldivers 2 success and how almost all the most popular games on Xbox/PlayStation/PC are GaaS titles to suggest people don't want GaaS. It is very "ignorant" to say Sony players do not want GaaS or rather, it would be nicer to say that people on forums live in a bubble, little forums like ours or ResetEra or even Reddit do not represent the majority of the gaming community.

I don't even play multiplayer titles that much nowadays, I used to when I was younger, now I'm mostly single-player.

But I do think Sony needs to focus more on niche/filling gaps in the GaaS market which Helldivers 2 does, I can't really think of much direct competition which Helldivers 2 has, unlike Concord which picked a fight with some of the biggest games in the world, Lol. That's why Microsoft acquired COD instead of trying to compete with it, Lol.

I think Sony needs to pick its battles more carefully, but I can't deny that the allure of "what if one day we did break into this extremely competitive area" would be a tempting one to a financial person, who wouldn't want to sit alongside Overwatch, Valorant, etc...You achieve that then that would make up for multiple flops.
