Wanna save money? Cut the pay for executives!
It’s an immediate bump in profits and zero impact on the games quality.

Games as a service is a scam designed to milk players for every cent.
Was hoping the movie would have killed the franchise and force them to move on and make something original again instead of wallowing in IP rot.
So hope this backfires and everyone lays into these fuckers hard.
No surprise here.
Wish modders would learn that some publishers don’t want any content made for their intellectual property and it’s better to spend the time and effort to make your own original project instead.
You like cod? Cool! Make something inspired by it instead of something that will just get sued out of existence.
The cops should be called on Hollywood for IP abuse. 😂
Yay capitalism. Another company eating up everything it can.
You are being overly technical and misleading the point I was making. I keep forgetting how autistic Lemmy can be.
I’m making fun of the creative director from the article by lying and still raking in the upvotes from the people that didn’t look into it.
Like the people that will go into the game thinking it’s a souls game. The ones that will just click download without looking it up. Get it… 🙄
Also if you expect every interaction on the internet to be honest and above board than boy do I have a bridge to sell you.
I agonized over it but in the end decided the upvotes under the false pretence were acceptable. 😏
Active player counts on launch is a metric that is undoubtedly used to judge the game and potentially is tied to dev bonuses. Like obsidian and fallout new Vegas.
I don’t see any corporation being above artificially inflating any of their numbers.
Right cause the same thing didn’t happen to Metroivanias and Rougelikes.
Popular use and association will make souls into the next one of them. Directly in the name or not that is the label that’s sticking.
But in the end didn’t mind people buying it under a false pretence as long as sales are up.
Games as a service has always been a scam.
FOMO is a hell of a drug.
More of this please!
An original game clearly made with love by a small team of passionate people.
Good. Making a game open world isn’t a positive. Just leads to padding and copy pasting.
We can’t make art because of capitalism. Fucking sad.
They don’t sell because no fucking company wants to market a product that they can’t milk every fucking cent from. They aren’t producing anything of value, only subscriptions, game passes and addictive gambling loot boxes.
Games as a service is a scam. Stop preordering the latest AAA wank and support indie devs.
More standalone experiences that are unique and creative instead of factory produced sludge.
Calling it. Give it till the end of the year before they pull the plug completely.
Closest thing Sony has to a proper mascot, of course they are gonna milk it for all it’s worth.
