This also means they are staying on course with gaas. They already have Bungie. When it comes to MMOs NCSoft games were my alternative to WoW. I was pretty deep into Guild Wars and Aion. They also have a mobile presence.

They told me Jim Ryan was fired because of his GAAS initiative though :russ:

they let this guy they fired walk back into the building and invest in a Korean company for GAAS smh

All that hating on GAAS, Mobile and exclusives being exclusive to one platform only for Sony to be trending in the exact opposite direction :mjlol:


You even bumped my old thread yesterday about this very thing, only to wakeup and wipe the crust out your eyes and read this.

Yep, because sony is only putting out NCSoft games from this point on. :childplease:


They doing what Microsoft can’t, expanding their reach into new gaming regions, increasing their gaming marketshare like they did with Europe and the ME in the 90’s.

Sony aren’t playing the same pool generation after generation they are reaching new audience. Thats why they are exclusive with Mihoyo and Microsoft is still figuring out how to sell subscriptions in the US

It’s almost like maybe the man has been at Sony for a lifetime and just wants a break and enjoy his wealth.

He was fired cause he promised 12 gaas and delivered zero.

Sony still all in on GAAS. They are just looking for the right people to do it :ehh:
