Sony's announcement Tuesday to slash 8,000 jobs worldwide and shut down some plants is "not expected" to hit the company's video game sector.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
Get real. Of course PS3 will be affected. They're not going to cut the price of PS3 anytime soon for a start.
The PS3rd will be the first to get cut!
Come one, its losing them money!
£50 PER sold console!
The Playstation devision is ripe for the flucking!
I work in the mining business and our company let go a total of 500 people globally so far (with more to come after the holidays) and all this did was trim down the size enough to follow the sales.
Our company is a pretty big powerhouse and the chances of it going under are slim but when the production isn't there and the stocks are down that's when the layoffs start rolling in. First it's the people upstairs doing sales, then it's the machinists on the floor, less machinists means less people in the stockroom, which means less people in shipping, janitors, and supervisors, then it goes back upstairs to the girls that do the payroll.
It's a vicious circle and for a company like Sony the size is multiplied. Once the economy picks up hopefully these positions will be filled again, it's just a matter of when?
Hope it works out for the people that lost thier jobs, being laid off sucks.
Isnt the PS3 division bleeding the most money from Sony?
when i heard that sony cutting job, my first thought was that PS3 is not going to be affected.
Sony has many different products. eg tv, walkman, mobile phones.
PS3 will be fine.
When Microsoft will (yes WILL, MS lost so much money) soon announce job cuts, xbox 360 is going to be a big problem. MS rely so much on xbox 360.
Every companies around the world are hit hard by so-called credit crunch.
