Sony announced the suspension of the mandatory PSN account thing

frozen bluff
#

Afaik Palworld isn't going to be going to PS. I think this is a good thing. I don't think Pocketpair should have any relationship with Sony, especially considering their poor track record when it comes to things like infosec and privacy

hollow tree

#

And the data leaks don’t help

frozen bluff

frozen bluff
#

Information Security. Sony has indeed had a number of data breaches in recent years. I have a PS5 and a PS account, but I don't think I'll be touching online play anytime soon because of that

Took a while for the dough to grow this time, probably because of the rain season

Ham and bacon

I figured the rainy season would make it easier for dough to rise. Yeast thrives in damp environments 🤔

humble parrot
#

It took 3 times aslong as the previous pizzas I made during dry/windy season

frozen bluff
#

Huh

#

Interesting, not sure why that might be the case. Is it cooler outside?

humble parrot
#

There's like 80% humidity, It's hell outside

#

72% humidity, 33C

frozen bluff
#

Hmm

snow thistle
#

Whether we put Palworld on PS or not, the situations aren’t comparable at all

hollow tree
#

Voice of reason

snow thistle
#

We’re a self publishing studio, there isn’t any way we can be pressured into doing things

#

A hypothetical Palworld on PS would obviously require PSN, but it wouldn’t affect anything else

#

Arrowhead Studios is literally published by Sony

#

and they have been for many years

#

These are very different relationships

hollow tree
#

You mean I don’t need to sell a kidney to Sony? Neato

tough comet
#

prison no deadlines for a mega corp?

humble parrot
#

And you shouldn't for crossplay either.

#

Since it should be done using EOS

hollow tree
#

This is all technology to me

#

I’ll do whatever the people tell men

peak folio
#

Sony can be sticklers when it comes to crossplay but with Palworld basically selling like Pokemon, they have some leverage.

humble parrot
#

I wish we had more up-to-date sales numbers

#

Because the game has been in steam's top seller since release

peak folio
#

It’s likely slowed at this point compared to before.

tranquil obsidian
#

tldr
-small studios sometimes can't afford to publish games
-ask a bigger company to publish for you
-they want a kickback of sorts
-you get your game published, they get their kickback

peak folio
#

That’s how it always works

snow thistle
#

(Arrowhead isn’t a small studio)

#

But yes

humble parrot
tranquil obsidian
#

mine was more generic not specific, but yeah

humble parrot
#

Anyways, Bucky, you playing Hades 2?

snow thistle
#

Sales numbers have obviously slowed but still relatively quite high on a daily basis

#

Palworld still very much the top selling game of the year 😄

humble parrot
#

Nice

peak folio
#

Yeah for sure

#

But game sales is an industry number, most players don’t care. For some reason players are more interested in concurrent numbers

Which is an irrelevant stat for a non-gaas game

The game is already using EOS for multiplayer too

And I know games that have crossplay with both Xbox and PS that don't need either a Microsoft or PSN account for the steam side.

If anything, what's holding out crossplay is probably modding, and even then, they can use stuff like mod.io along with the steam workshop.

My dad worked as a field engineer and then applied for an office engineer position. He was very bored going from hands on to management and paper.

I feel you are very hands on and do it yourself. Moving to an engineering position where you will most likely delegate work and the bulk is on paper instead of physical, I think you wouldn't feel as rewarded.

Generally speaking I don't really celebrate people losing their livelihoods like that because it means they're out of work and probably out of their main source of income (if that even applied to this guy and he was on Arrowhead's paystub). It's kinda bittersweet in a way. On the one hand, AH knew that there was controversy surrounding him so they definitely wanted him gone. But on the other... it's still sad he lost his job. And on the third hand... he kinda did it to himself

I still don't understand why one of the community managers for Helldivers 2 claimed that the PSN account linking was for security purposes. The game already has a kernel level anti-cheat (That doesn't work) and players have SteamIDs, what would Sony do at that point?

tranquil obsidian
#

i havent checked the full fallout yet, but im probably going to be a concerned if theyre the only CM that lost their role over this

#

his crime was literally telling people to go protest where its needed

frozen bluff
#

CMs are the faces of the company that they work for and their link to their community, so it reflects poorly on the company if they're treating their community like that. They didn't have a reason to be that way, but they chose to

mild raft
#

Maybe that company is missing a social media training program or did he just not pay attention lol

#

Of what not to do

#

He was not ready for the position

#

But it’s not even a hard job tbh

tranquil obsidian

from what ive seen, theyre certainly not the worst offender though

All u need is maybe one class and PR and your be good as a CM

snow thistle

You’re absolutely cooked if you think that

mild raft
#

lol

snow thistle
#

But then again, he wasn’t even in the credits of the game

#

Perhaps just a discord moderator with some extra responsibility

mild raft
#

Well he was hired like after release.

snow thistle
#

Dunno

humble parrot
#

Sony hire?

mild raft
#

snow thistle
#

Either way, Discord is like 10% of the role of a CM

#

Calling it easy is pretty silly

#

But I suppose different companies do it different

#

Arrowhead seem to have loads of people with the “CM” title

#

Maybe they divide the work or something

mild raft
#

I’m saying that it’s probably the easiest role in the game studio . Not saying it’s not difficult

i suspect some are actually sony CMs though theyre forced to have

Also he was the only one from the US

#

Like imagine them giving u the position and not forcing u to relocate

frozen bluff
#

It's more like they have the power to tell AH to fire em. Sony doesn't own AH, but AH does use them as the publisher for their games. So Spitz being inflammatory could certainly reflect poorly on Sony, which would spur Sony to pressure AH into getting rid of them if they want to keep publishing games with Sony. AH itself is independently owned, though.

mild raft
#

Sadly that’s probably there last time they will just give someone a chance it’s sad.

Yeah I think it's kinda like how it is in my own job. Maintenance guys like me are our own independent team with our supervisors. We are separate from production, but overseen by head of operations.

Supervisors of other areas have no real power over us and can't tell us what to do, but they can go through our supervisors who could then tell us what to do. And head of operations (let's use sony as a placeholder), could absolutely tell us what to do because we operate on his dime.
