Sony has cancelled another PlayStation live service. Despite their commitment to making more live service games, almost every one of their live service projects have been cancelled or flopped at launch. Sony’s shortsightedness continues to be a complete embarassment.

At this point, almost every single one of Sony's last 13 live service has either been cancelled or flopped at launch. Helldivers 2 is the only exception. They've wasted a disgusting amount of money and time chasing trends and pursuing greed.
WHERE THE FUCK IS DAYSGONE 2
Bluepoint got shut down and now this!
10:12 sony joined the cancel culture
me when another life service extraction shooter gets cancelled:
yeah I don't care, seriously stop pushing out random live service games with the only intention of getting monetized, or at least give creatives the time to develop something actually intresting and not fucking tan generic games
When was Horizon Steel Frontiers (HSF) canceled? Tencent had to cancel Light of Moritam due to the Sony lawsuit they provoked, but HSF was officially revealed in November last year iirc.
Also the decisions around all those live service games were just stupid. They canceled their most promising project (TLOU Online) in favor of projects no one asked for at all.
Not to make this a consol war but i find it funny how xbox is still the villain or the “worst console” when sony literally one does the same two does even worse shit. Sure xbox started online shit but they have actual done some good shit sony sony keeps stepping in it.
All this time and money burned over games that aren’t even coming out 😂😂
At least PS5 emulation was made fairgame
Somebody bring Shawn Layden back 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
PVP shooters suck dick.
Sad? No, not really.
I am quite happy that they're enjoying the consequences.
I'm going to be honest – I've never heard of this game until now.
I hope whoevers idea it was to greenlight that many live services got fired or worse. Not only did it lead to Sony losing hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars but it also led to mass layoffs. Completely AVOIDABLE mass layoffs.
Willing to bet everything I own Sony is still gonna be like “hmmm I wonder what studio we have to make us a live service 🤔”
Sony continues to try and shove live services down the throats of their customers, and EVERY time, it fails. Yet somehow, instead of learning from their mistakes, they continue trying to create live service games. They have this ridiculous obsession for live service games that has done nothing but give them grief for years, to the point where people don't like their company as a whole anymore.
People are starting to compare it to EA in my experience in how hungry for cash they are, except unlike EA they have no idea how to make it, and they have no actual cash cow (like FIFA or NBA2K).
Sony lost my sympathy after taking away physical releases and cancelling Physint.
YongYea: "…in the form of Fairgames"
Me: "what games??????"
nishino's regime:
predictable income
live-service potential to attract crowds
increasing spending per player
not abandoning single-player.
it seems like the execs hired an efficiency guy, rather than a renaissance ringer.
a lot of video games run on romanticism; a lot of video games they are publishing are hard to romanticize.
seriously, how many extraction shooter games they funded? is all that it comes to for their live service game portfolio comes to for sony? only extraction shooters? lol
When their biggest successes are marathon and helldivers2 in live service you know the leadership is horrible how are these morons not fired first
Jason Schreier is like a curse on these games always reporting the bad news 😂😂😂 and somy deserves it
Sony wants an audience captured by fortnite, they need to cater to us or continue failing and reduce the budgets. They need to find ways to reduce the money spent on game, half a billion is not and should not be the "new normal"
Concord was great
I don't get how sony thought it's great to develop over 10 liveservice games that are all competing with each other. What the fuck are they smoking?
at this point just remake PlayStation Home, Sony
Damn, was hoping for a november 19th Fairgames launch! 😂
Cookie cutter games can't keep them afloat.
Sony: "We're gonna make a dozen of new live service games! (in the quickest, cheapest way possible to follow the trend)"
Players: "Please don't, we won't play them anyway (over the already established ones we're already playing)"
The games: don't do well during dev because they're cheap and uninspired in an oversaturated market just as everyone told Sony
Sony: shocked Pikachu face
NO
ONE
WANTS
MORE
LIVE
SERVICES
oh cmon they should at elast release the game, i want to watch ppl shitting on it where is the entertainment 😂
They say a single live service game can pay off all failures.
But can a single game live service really pay off so MANY failures?
CONCORD$ LEGACY
Deserved it literally just looked like a temu version of payday
They have a live service shooter they just have to make it Destiny 3!
I am shocked, shocked I tells ya!
Na…this is just funny.
If you think about it – if the original premise behind FairGame$ was to steal from the rich then they indeed succeeded… Except Sony just opened their vault and threw the money out themselves.
I boxed up my PS5 after years of it collecting dust, SONY playstation is dead to me.
We thought we were getting Concord 3.0 but it didn't even get to that point xD
So why did Sony hold on to this game for so long again ?
I'm calling it. Money laundering. There's no way a company would willingly waste as much money as they have on things like concord etc only to cancel them like a week later
I shudder to think what will happen when they inevitable turn everything into gacha, because then they will find success with their trend chasing.
Man all I fkin wanted was TLOU Factions 2, but no Sony just wants to keep screwing crap up one embarrassment after another 🤬
I find it funny how back when Sony were first started making these live service scam platforms- I mean “video games” around the time they brought bungie for their CEOs expertise & financial advice Pete Parsons basically told them all to take the whole live service line into the trash and bet everything on his upcoming live service marathon game before he eventually cut and run with his stolen stock money and all of the golden parachute payments he got from this big heist of a deal where he offloaded all these dead to Sony and the company that is doomed to go bankrupt/out of business.
& Sony didn’t realise he scammed them until he was already long gone with all of their 4 billion dollars plus in stolen money so they spitefully decided to ignore his ill faded intentionally malicious bad financial advice to cancel everything they planned and bet everything on marathon to instead try to release the games. He told him to burn and cancel and they still ironically ended up having to to cancel them since while Pete Parsons bad financial advice was done with malicious intent he was also indirectly correct about no one wanting to play any of the live service slop Sony was already making.
& no Pete Parsons did not try to help Sony with their live service plans at all. His job was to take someone else’s work and flip it for a profit even if it was worth nothing. That was his Microsoft direct official business training, which is flip worthless businesses for as much money as he can get & cut and run before they realise they’ve been scammed..
So when Sony brought his former company bungie Pete Parsons had to find a way to stall for time and keep so distracted just long enough for his management contract reaches the endpoint date for him to have a golden parachute exit from the company along with cashing out on all of his shares and taking all of the employees bonus money on the side just in case Sony wise up to the scam and caught him out. But they didn’t and he got away with all that money and when they try to spitefully ignore his bad advice they unintentionally did the damage to themselves that he would’ve done if they actually was stupid enough to follow that advice.
Basically two con artists tried to join alliances to scam unsuspecting customers and they ended up backstabbing each other and Sony still being left holding the bag didn’t wanna give up and admit defeat so they still tried to carry the scam out on their own customers anyway only for the scam to immediately completely fall flat because absolutely no one was falling for it since it’s been made publicly clear to everyone who has a brain that this is the giant fraudulent scamming market That made to only line the pockets of rich corporate executives who only only invested in the game market because they made their fortunes on picking job markets that aren’t regulated by the government to openly scam people in so they had to cancel the projects anyway since the jig was up and there was no one left to trick.
