Ratchet and Clank literally had a game just a few years ago as a PS5 launch title, and what it lacked in overt DEI it more than made up in "sterile, painfully modern" writing, with everyone apologizing every 10 seconds for offending each other.
I mean, probably 90% of the people who played it only did so once it hit Steam like last year.
I'm fairly certain the only "exclusive" for the PS5 that isn't on Steam by this point anyone kinda cares about is the Demons Soul Remake. And people still barely care about it and are still instead focused on Bloodborne getting off PS4.
Even then, wouldn't it be better to give them the best shot possible by rebranding under a different name to keep the stink of "Sony originals" away from those games?
I won't rejoice until I have confirmation that all DEI has been removed from Sony. This could be like Square Enix, where they removed SBI because they now have their own internal DEI consulting department.
SBI is just one head of the hydra that makes up companies like this, and likely the most well known. The rest probably saw the shitstorm kicked up last year when SBI hit the trends and coupled with this news are likely going to go to ground and rebrand hard to avoid being noticed any time soon.
Sweet Baby Inc was not the issue but a symptom. If a company is willing to hire such a consultancy company then it means they are woke and their product is garbage.
Being afraid to have Sweet Baby Inc attached to a brand does not mean they are any less woke.
That took way too long. When your potential consumer base starts a website where it informs other gamers about when a specific company is involved in a game so don't buy it, you think maybe just maybe you would stop using that company.
It's a start, now burn down LA headquarters with everyone that greenlit Concord and Last of Us 2 inside.
Move corporate headquarters back to Japan.
Sony "dropped" SBI because they're hiring their own in-house commies to sabotage the company.
How many fucking times do you need to be duped by these commie fuckers before you start asking "What's the catch?"
Too little too late, Sony “originals” are so tainted as a brand they are going to have to xfinity themselves in all likelihood
Only hope would be ones that haven't been utilised for years like Killzone or Ratchet and Clank.
Everything else is too tainted with woke and needs structural purging before developing anything.

I kinda forgot about most games for the PS5 because really, NONE of them could justify buying that console.
Helldivers 2 came close but then Sony management fucked that up.

Jak would be nice.
Ape Escape, Sly Cooper, Twisted Metal, LittleBig Planet.... Really, the list of horribly mis-managed Playstation properties is incredible.
It's as if they only made the game for that console cycle, and didn't think further

This.
I see too many people celebrating whenever a company axes SBI affiliation (mostly content creators).
Doesn't matter if they're still receiving funding from Blackrock, or -- as you pointed out -- they have their own "ethics" committee.
And Ubisoft Leamington closed its doors too.
Good day to be a chud (Apparently).

Not the end, keep a lookout for where they're looking next.
Keep a lookout for the other companies doing the same thing, SBI isn't unique.
I think Concord was a much better idea than Bloodborne 2.
so in about 10 years their stuff might not be infected. K, cya then.
They have their own internal DEI department. Dont let this fool you. I saw their job listings for DEI consultants some months prior.

Nature is healing, it is a shame they were late on it.
Better late than never.
