Hello, Brad and crew. How do you think the massive success of Helldivers 2 will impact upcoming Sony GaaS titles such as Concord? Can we expect these games to have a similar price point and monetization structure? Is it wise to launch more than one live-service in the same year, given that their audiences will have some overlap? Do you see Sony tightening their relationship with Arrowhead and giving them more power over their GaaS initiative? What does that mean for Bungie? Keep up the awesome work you've been doing on SuS.

2024-02-19 04:23:48 +0000 UTCWhatâs up Summon Signers?! I hope you guys know the homelander meme where he awkwardly is smiling from cheers? I feel like that is Sony stumbling into the success of HellDivers 2 right now! 400k concurrent on steam as I write this! How long do you gents think it will take Sony to lock them down? Love all that you fellas do! Also so happy to see Hoag on again and healthy! Much love from the sticks of Michigan!

2024-02-19 01:32:09 +0000 UTCGotta give a âsort it outâ to the industry publishers not having a finger anywhere near the pulse⊠and in this case itâs Sony and Helldivers 2. They REALLY didnât think this game would hit like this? REALLY? Itâs Sunday at 4:30 pm and I havenât been able to load in to Helldivers 2. Yesterday I could but couldnât find matches with others. You shouldnât need a couple 100 million dollars worth of KPIs to tell you what a 10 hour a week game player could have told you for free. This game was always going to hit and guess what it did and you canât fucking play it. I donât even need to mention the last ~5 years of abysmal live service releases but I will for the sake of the âsort it outâ argument. This game is a product of those past 5 years. You can see it everywhere in the design. Take one look at steam and see that like 12 of the top 20 most played games reside in the $30-$40 msrp range. Helldivers 2 doesnât fit in there huh? Couple that with the desert biome that is February unless you enjoy jrpgs. Yeah, Steam isnât your target demo at all. I donât expect this game to die off from these issues but I highly suspect a lot of people arenât going to put up with this shit much longer and thus just not play the game. Hope it gets fixed while weâre young. This is my GotY right now for sure when it works.

2024-02-18 20:16:50 +0000 UTCHey guys Do you believe beyond 30days that Helldivers 2 will have the legs to continue? All Games as a Service come out swinging in that first month but 30 days + seems to be the lithmus test. I can see new mob variants and stuff to keep people busy but cosmetics only go so far. (for me) Just curious on what you think since this is Sony's first GAAS.

2024-02-17 23:18:18 +0000 UTCGood afternoon Counsel. Colin- why do you always correct Dustin when he misuses fewer/less but never when he says âThis happened to Brad and Iâ when he should be saying âthis happened to Brad and me.â? And Hoeg- If a lawyer uses incorrect grammar, is a jury less likely to believe they know what they are talking about? Incidentally, Iâd love to hear any jury duty stories any of you have. Thank you!
