The video game industry is currently going through a rough time at the moment, With Sony Interactive Entertainment, AKA PlayStation, being one of the many companies being affected right now. There are currently many problems that are plaguing modern PlayStation. From a lack of consistent first party game releases, to using the same handful of IPs over & over again, such as The Last of Us, Horizon, & God of War. Combine this with the lack of effort from Sony to try & fix these issues, it becomes incredibly apparent that Sony has been taking PlayStation fans for granted as of late. Join me as we take a look at all of these issues & showcase the current pathetic state of modern PlayStation

    I should probably stress this now that this video was published before Sony decided to enforce a PSN signup requirement for Helldivers 2, which is why I didn't bring it up in this video. So yeah.....lmao

    AAA Industry: We don't make games anymore, we make services.
  • @Arcademan09
    And now Square Enix is FINALLY realizing that locking expensive games to ONE system isn't a good idea
  • @arisumego
    japan studio closing was by far the biggest L sony ever brought upon themselves and they 100% deserve their downfall
  • @ito2789
    I’m seriously convinced there is some money laundering going on in both Hollywood and gaming. The budgets are insane and the quality is ASS.
  • @earlyriser03
    PlayStation forgot that indie and AA spaces still exist. What a shame.
  • @AllieRX
    "Microsoft also produce and release smaller scale games." And then they shut down the studios who make those smaller scale games. *coughTangoGameworkscough*
  • @Anijah2001
    It kind of sucks that Sony really went full on greed in the PS5 era.
  • I just came to the epiphany that gaming is simply too big for its britches. Too many shareholders that heard about how lucrative the industry is, jumping in and making demands without any idea of how to make a fun video game. The indie market is thriving because of its detachment from the more money hungry side of the industry. They just want to make good games.

    The only reason why i would consider buying a ps5 is if my ps4 dies before i finished playing through my ps4 back catalogue.
  • @RyuNoZero
    so.. if there won't be a PS5pro.. you'll tell me that I skipped an entire console generation of the Playstation and missed out on practically absolutely NOTHING!? xD
  • Sony's so addicted to taking Ls lately they've decided to shoot down their brand new golden goose just 3 months after release lmao
  • Twisted metal, Sly cooper, Jack and Daxter, Tokyo jungle, Ape escape and (my favourite Sony franchise) LITTLEBIGPLANET are all collecting dust while they keep pushing the same IPs forward. When will they realize that ppl are starting to get bored?
  • @Oldstalk
    10:50 Nooooooo, don't show me Gravity Rush, don't show it to me 😢 They freaking closed Japan Studio, I still cannot believe it..
  • @patrickholt8782
    I saw a meme when the ps5 came out that said “the ps4 has made us confident so we will screw up the ps5.” Talk about some future sight.
  • @blank.000
    It doesn't help that their 'main' game - Spider-man 2 has a total dogshit storyline and absolutely NO REPLAY value.
  • @Soulute367
    They also need to stop censoring their games. Like wtf
  • @AllieRX
    It all started when Sony Computer Entertainment (the division of Sony in charge of the PlayStation brand) became Sony Interactive Entertainment. Their U.S. and Japan-based offices would be merged, and they are now headquartered in California. Then they started censoring games in around 2018, namely Japanese games with sexualized women. Then they released the pathetic PlayStation Classic mini console. From there, it continued to get worse and worse and worse and worse for PlayStation. And here we are today.
