it would be funny if it was true. They were not the first to sell off or close down an irrelevant part of their overall gaming strategy. 

"irrelevant" LOL


It is quite irrelevant, sorry to burst your bubble. All you have to do is look at the PS3's library.

I wonder how many posts it took on page one for that narrative to start.

Anyways, it's funny to me. Hope that helps.


yeah it's pretty irrelevant to it's consoles. unless you though planetside 2, H1Z1, DC universe etc were all going to shift ps4's in relevant numbers? all focused mainly on pc and releasing there first. who bought the ps4 for warframe? a shit load will play them because they are free but very few will buy a ps4 for them. 

anyway if you find that funny, that's cool. i wish i had a sense of humour as good as that.

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.

Cool, now we wait for Nintendo to go third party.

Article is dated February 2, 2014. Is this correct?



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Well, they needed the money to pay the bils.

Source? Which bills are you referring to exactly? Sounds like you know something we don't.

Oh, that's nice to hear. It was getting a lot of negatve reception from its Early Access.

Its quickly become one of the most watched Twitch games and seems to be staying there. This is pretty much how Heartstone became insanely popular overnight.

Negative reception on early access means shit when millions of people are watching other people have tons of fun with the game.

Ah, I see. That makes more sense now. Thanks :)

If it's so irrelevant, why was your first reply telling Seece it's "big news"? If they are irrelevant, then it's not big news.

Planetside 2 has gotten a lot of talk on here. And plenty here were looking forward to H1Z1. DC Universe sucks. You don't have to shift tons of consoles for something to be big news. I mean, aren't you the guy who like a week ago was trying to say Microsoft's YouTube policies were a big deal? And yet Sony selling off SOE is not a big deal? LOL give me a break.

So if Planetside 2 turns out to be amazing, it's not a big deal that Xbox One owners could play the game as well? Same with H1Z1. And what if EQ Next is phenomenal. Sony will be missing out on tons of revenue from subscriptions. It's a big move. And depending on what they produce in the future, could be huge.

Welp I guess they needed more cashflow. Wonder how long planetside 2 will be PS4 exclusive, that could turn into a big system seller.

Good news, maybe the new owners will actually step up to the pitch and improve on what Sony could not when it comes to online MMo gaming, hopefully it also means Xbox gamers can get the chance to play the 4 on their console of choice.
