This reminds me of the days when Kaz Hirai was named president and CEO of Sony as a whole back in 2012 when almost every decision was bleeding money. He initiated his "One Sony, three pillars" strategy which was the start of turning things around. He was the man for the job.

What happened to this forum? Where's the PS crowds?

I may be mistaken, but I believe that even Spiderman is smaller on the PS5 than on PS4. 

We're all busy playing PS games like Spider-Man and Demon's Souls and Nioh Collection! 

Some have left. Others have been permabanned.

We all know sony is taking over anime market, not only with media itself, but also games.
With that in mind we saw today Kadokawa / CyberAgent / Sony partnership, but it got me thinking about studios Sony could go after to establish itself as the one giant anime company:
Bandai Namco - too big, sort of too much, but I can definitely see a partnership happening and they own lots of anime licenses
Cyberconnect2 - one of the greatest anime developers, would fit like a glove for sony's anime projects
Level 5 - very capable studio, long history with sony and recent poor results sales and reception wise.

What do you guys think?

Buy Level 5, remaster the White Knight Chronicles games, and make more of them! ...I can dream, right? :(

I've been informed I'm on my last warning, for having too much bias towards Sony and against Microsoft. Apparently I criticize Microsoft/Xbox too much, so much so that I got banned from that forum entirely. Nobody has explained to me beyond 'being too critical of microsoft' as a reason, so if it's something else nobody has informed me of it. All the warnings I've gotten and all the bans boil down to 'you're just bitching about microsoft too much' or 'we banned you from the microsoft forum so you wouldn't talk about them, but you still talk about them in the sony forum when comparing the platforms so we're going to ban you, now.' they cite flaming, but that's not even remotely what I'm doing. Like, seriously, Every time I ask others outside of this sphere if the things I said looked like flaming to them, they said no and most outright laughed, then were confused when I told them I was banned for it. It turns out the definition for 'flaming' on this forum is very loose and can be intepreted as 'being too critical of a brand'. 

I literally got banned once for posting a point by point analysis of the PS4, Switch, and Xbone, comparing exclusives throughout the years...just raw data and some analysis of that data's trends, and I got banned because I rightly said Microsoft's output was poor, based on the data. I do not understand how this is flaming. I do not understand how this is in any way against any of the rules...but because it was me and I clearly have not been impressed by Microsoft to the point I'm rightly relentlessly critical of the company's decisions, it can be interpreted as flaming. 

if this isn't the case, if this isn't the real reason, and if this isn't why I'm constantly getting banned, nobody has taken the time to explain it to me. It is their site, if they want me gone because my criticism is ruining it for others, that's fine. It's their site. If they were just like 'hey, we don't like your negativity', then that'd be different. Instead they cite flaming as the reason when what I've done in the past is not flaming at all, just as an excuse to justify a ban. I've seen the shit people get banned for, I've seen the bias on all sides, and what I say and do is NOWHERE NEAR as bad as like 95% of it on the site. In the end, free speech and a personal enterprise and all that, it's their site and their decision, but their logic has been from day one pretty noncommital and inconsistent. Every ban I've gotten appears to boil down to 'you're being too critical of Microsoft, so we're gonna ban you for it'. 

So yeah, I'm still a little salty about it because even when I'm trying to be good or neutral or non-inflammatory, I keep getting banned. That's why I hardly post on here anymore. I always assume every post - no matter how benign - will get me banned. and now that I'm on the 'last warning' stage, I just assume I'll be booted at any time for having a preference, voicing that preference, and offering facts and data to support why I have that preference. But hey, if anyone has deeper insight into the problem I'd be happy to hear it! As of now, though, 'being too critical of microsoft' seems to be the culprit, as far as I can tell. 

**Edit** To be clear, the reason I posted this is because I don't know what I can do to avoid further banning aside from...just not discussing one of the three major game hardware companies on a videogame forum and I genuinely would like some clarity on the matter. If it literally just is that I'm being too harshly critical, then at least I know the bias is real and the favouritism is real and I Can adjust accordingly. If they genuinely think what I'm doing is flaming, well then I'm fucked because it's NOT flaming by any stretch of the imagination and there's nothing I can do short of completely removing any and all semblance of passion for a medium I'm passionate about.
