PlayStation Studios is not satisfied with games as a service
According to Jason Schreier, a journalist Bloomberg and one of the most reliable sources in the industry, PlayStation Studios is not entirely happy with the strategy proposed by Jim Ryan for the future of the brand. The source assures that developers do not like the attention to games as a service.
The report suggests that PlayStation struggled to get into this new model despite having Bungie on its side. Schreier states that neither study Fate was enough to “turn PlayStation Studios into a games-as-a-service factory.”
In case you don’t know, Ryan’s management promoted and invested heavily in games like this. We know that PlayStation Studios is preparing more than 10 games as a service for the coming years, as it wants to fully enter this area of the industry.
However, the strategy involves risks for the brand and its distinctive seal, as well as for its most famous studios. Various experts believe that Ryan’s strategy will never produce the expected results, so they are concerned about the “lack of a coherent vision in the company”.
Still, it’s unclear what will happen to the company and its strategy once Ryan leaves. It is not known whether PlayStation will expand games as a service as planned or radically change its strategy.
