- Sony’s recent job posting made everyone believe that the company is going multiplatform.
- Many fans and popular figures are against this idea.
- Among them is the former developer of Bend Studio, who said Sony needs to embrace exclusivity.
Recently, the gaming industry went into total chaos because of a job posting by Sony. The posting suggested that the company will follow the same multiplatform strategy as Xbox. Helldivers 2 is set to release on Xbox this month, which has made people more skeptical.
The majority of the fans were throwing tantrums at the thought of Sony releasing more games on Xbox. A former developer of Bend Studio is also against that idea, as he said PlayStation games should remain on the dedicated console, and the gaming giant should focus 90% on single-player titles.
Why it matters: Console wars are already over, so worrying over whether Sony wants to release its games on Xbox or Nintendo seems a little out of hand.
Robert Morrison, the former developer at Bend Studio, recently shared his thoughts about what PlayStations need to do on X, formerly known as Twitter. He thinks the company shouldn’t opt for the multiplatform strategy and focus mainly on the single-player titles.
PlayStation needs to: + Keep PlayStation games on PlayStation + Focus 90% on single-player games
Sony has not confirmed that it aims to release more games on Xbox or Nintendo, but fans were quick to connect the dots. The company may announce the inevitable soon, but the fandom and many popular figures will likely be unhappy with this decision.
The Bend Studio’s former developer also doesn’t seem to be a fan of this strategy. He has made some other good suggestions on what PlayStation needs to do. Morrison thinks the gaming giant should focus on a four-year development cycle, shorten the scope of major titles, feature fewer contractors, give more staff positions, and much more.
Furthermore, in the thread, he explains no one has to agree with him, and that is totally his opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
