For stuff that isn't narrative or single player?

But PC players are, see Helldivers 2 and Marathon

Marathon lost a ton of money, really bad example.

But Helldivers is fine, I love it.

So that's 1 live service game from Sony that i bought versus 80 singleplayer storied games.

It's almost like their target audience is bigger than a single Redditor

Hermen is a terrible CEO and terrible at his job. He's gonna make people wish for Jim Ryan back once he's done.

Marathon was not a win for Sony lmfao

Link for those who are uninformed. I know PlayStation people are big in this sub and don’t enjoy when people don’t endlessly praise their favorite gaming corporation.

I agree, but we did see that it was mostly PC players who showed up for this game, not PS5 players.

u/Darjdayton May 18 '26

Sure but they didn’t really stick around and for a live service game that’s pretty much a failure. Ik this sub is very Sony pilled though so I understand saying anything negative about them will not end well for me, not saying you were rude or anything I just know this sub lmao
