'I don't think they would care'
Of course they care, if someone is willing to pay for a game on a previously unsupported platform they would be well happy, perhaps even a 'told you so' moment of smugness. Not care? Nah. I'd care.
I would also like to know. For a friend
PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me
Why all at once? Across the whole industry?
I think I know why but the tin foil hat accusers make fun of me..
Looks like Alan Cummings in that pic
I love that your profile pic is of a gormless simpleton. Note: I'm referring to the profile pic not you the human. The profile pic is of a GORMLESS SIMPLETON.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
"Volatile" AAA. Lol.
AAA is what you make it, and its in your control because YOU MAKE IT.
Spend too much and take too long = "Volatile"

Take a step back, regroup, have a vision in mind, set a budget, have realistic goals and develop. We're here waiting when you make something we want
Buy them. Redundancies. Shouldn't haver bought them. Whoops, will we ever learn??
Stay independent, stay free.
We legit don't know, you and I, everyone else that can comment on N4G, we have no idea what is going on at ND. You can assume all day long but we haven't been made aware of any facts, other than..
3 Remasters released this gen by ND.
Live Service game cancelled by ND (don't know what % of ND worked on this)
Layoffs at ND (among other studios)
No new game released yet this gen new IP or otherwise
I love ND and their g...
Not Naughty Dog games, not this gen. You know, Naughty Dog? Who the article is about?
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG m...
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Season 1.....
as if
Ubisoft has sooooo many employees and their games haven't done too brilliantly lately. I would be surprised if they didn't have layoffs at this stage. Loved Avatar though, loved it.
I hope all these layoffs aren't to make space for their AI replacements...
Microsoft....
Let the brainwashing begin
They're not good at gaming, simples. Rich enough to pretend they are, rich enough to appear as though they are, but dumb enough to release tremendously faulty hardware, annoy and ostracize their best devs, arrogant enough to spend stupid money buying up IP's/studios and naive enough to act like the whole industry is in the same position as them when really they're just the school bully that turns around one day and goes 'hey, where did all my cretin followers go? Have they rea...

Your comment made me smile so much, thanks.
'You though that Xbox were done. ITS NOT!'
Pmsl
Just so you know, the gamers always win. Not the fanboys.
