They really need to create some more variant tags, only Super, Ti, and Super Ti, really? Where are Ultra, Legendary, and Co? As it is, they don't have enough to cover every 5$ rung in pricing! Unacceptable!

is definitely "while" in the context of the interview
Sounds pretty fucking good to me Yoshida-san
Good that they have fully understood that the few console purchases cannibalized by releasing their games on other platforms are significantly outweighted by the much more significant amount of people that would not be willing to get a PS, but would still want to buy the games.
Second major paragraph of the article
“It will be ubiquitous,” Yoshida said. “Wherever there is computing, users will be able to play their favorite games seamlessly. While PlayStation will remain our core product we will expand our gaming experiences to PC, mobile, and cloud.”
give them a decade give or take lel

Based on how many titles in the past have pulled off the "launch in Early Access, grab a lot of money in the early hype, disappear" strategy, I have to imagine something like that was the intention.
They probably assumed that there would be a big enough pool of naive fools that would believe in the game for just long enough to get away with launching a below minimum viable product and cashing out once the reasonable refund window was surpassed. And, considering that they were the best performer in Steam for a hot minute, you can't blame them for thinking that.
They just overestimated how much they could get away. Which, considering how much some other titles have gotten away with in the past, is saying a lot.
I just hope that these companies don't have the gall to complain about a lack of manpower or expertise availability a few years down the line. Because by coordinating all these layoffs, they are currently creating a vacuum in which a lot of professionals in the industry won't have any chance to acquire experience and develop their skills, and many will probably have to change their career trajectory significantly just to ensure their economic well-being. And once they see how greener the grass is outside the videogame industry, let me assure you, they won't be coming back.
If you are not willing to stick with your professionals through your thin, you don't deserve their availability and effort through your thick.
Legit the biggest, most transparent, most obvious, most blatant scam I've seen in the 25+ years I've been playing videogames.
If you bought into this game or believed in it at any point, you should not go anywhere without wearing oven mitts and arm floaties.
dude think about this stuff before you open the floodgates bro
need to sell the obligatory updated mini of course
small price to pay for one of the most improbable sequels ever I say
After GTA Online made gazillions of money I can see how you'd want to try doing your own version of it if you already have the foundations of a GTA-esque title
