The only thing I can think of is that they were refocusing their games division around the PS4 to reclaim their space in the home console area after the disaster that the PS3 was initially taking advantage of the initial failure of the Xbox One.
PS Vita and their owners were just a collateral Sony was absolutely willing to sacrifice.
Just feel like I should at least add two more things here:
Storing information do their customers as plaintext data, then getting hacked and losing all that information (infamous PSN hack);
Releasing a portable console that cost between 250 and 300€, promising support for it then 2 years in, give up on it, never officially tell customers, but have one of your higher execs tell the press said console is a great “accessory” for the PS4.
This is why I don’t personally buy Sony hardware.
And remember, at any moment can delete any content you paid for and it’ll be gone forever. These two things (the one you mentioned and mine) are why I always say: “Fuck Bungie”.
It’s been down a lot for me lately. I basically only use it as a nextcloud pointer for large file uploads since cloudflare free has a 100MB limit and the Nextcloud desktop app lacks chunk-uploads. Which are ironically only present in the iOS client.
I believe I read Microsoft was working on something similar but it was definitely for mobile games. So I think that’s the idea. Not 100% sure tho
Is this year’s Tensor an actual in-house chip or just another rebranded shitty Exynos?
Hats off to Samsung tho, kneecapping the competition 😂
As a Portuguese, I’m quite proud of this tho I think we can still do better (or at least find a way to not get price gauged).
I was in a week-long vacation in the island of Madeira recently and was shocked by how many solar and wind farms they had, no to mention the energy generated by the sea around it. It was astonishing and at least restored my faith in my countrymen, just a bit.
It’s fine Vanillaware, we’ll keep pirating and emulating your games and play them anyway.
