what's his endgame?
Not even sure why the retards at Sony gave him the job of overseeing the gaming division. He's the director or a mediocre studio. WTF were they thinking. Did they have no one else.
>>747570080Probably turning Sony into a Sweden company
>>747570316He's D*tch
>>747570080My grandfather used to say that if a dutchman didn't attempt to fool you, it's because he forgot to do it. What to expect from the people who invented stock trading and brought synagogues to both North and South America? Anyways, his endgame is a scorched-earth policy because he knows he'll eventually be replaced by a Japanese guy. His previous decisions like the live-service push were somewhat understandable business decisions given the context (all of which fortunately failed) but the shit he's being doing recently is of a level of incompetence that is almost comical so I think it's on purpose.
>>747570080>>747570281CEOs do not create any battle plan. they only execute and are meant to report backthey are a conduit between owners (shareholders) and employee/the public. they do not create strategies. they are mere grunts it's on the owners to figure out shit but most do not care and most of it is in institutional hands anyway which means politics is a big part of it that sets what should happen where. especially after the Obama admin gave Blackrock basically a blank cheque in order for another 2008 to not happen and yet...
>>747570080Unironically, more Horizon shit
To stop the dike from flooding
>>747570080Crashing this company with no survivors
>>747570080Crashing this corp... without survivors
>>747570080Normalize open world foreheads
>>747572000Depends on the company. A CEO typically has autonomy, but they also have to deliver profits to keep their job. Past results will usually dictate how much of a tight leash they're on. A good CEO who frequently delivers will be granted a lot of breathing room in perilous times. Hulst is probably going to get the boot soon.
He's just playing the current meta>Raise share price at all costs before end of quarter>Customers/brand reputation be damned>Whatever problems occur from all this, is for whoever is in line for leadership next to figure outThere's one of two things that's going to happen from here:>A: Current leadership stays on for PS6 and it's the most jewed walled garden console experience ever conceived once launched (worse than already, they're just warming up)>B: New leadership comes in and either doubles down or have to do a hard 180 to salvage good will if current leadership's plan just burns out customers and doesn't effectively raise stock price.

>>747570080to crash this plane with no survivorsh
>>747572943she's the proud mascot of modern playstation like crash was in the old days. Aloy and Ellie. Both proud lesbians
>>747570080>Looks and dresses like a chad, even speaks like one>Makes and supports woke cucked gamesWhat causes this?
>>747573491Money. You think he actually cares about this nerd shit? He just wants another yacht that comes with whores on it.
>>747570080The end of PlayStation. I hate saying that, but I just had to.
>>747572560the bigger it gets the less authority they have.if you are a 5-man rinky dink business and hire someone to revamp your business/restaurant, sure, because it's failing already that person cannot do worse.same as your your lawyer. lawyers don't act on their own unless you specifically instruct them: "do what you think is best," even then, they still will come to you and say: so we have these options*, what you want to do. "what do you think [as my lawyer and a professional]" "well..."that's also one of the reasons they receive "their parachute". they don't receive a parachute because they had "great ideas" but because CEOs/managers do have a specific set of skills and usually they are sought after .... and because the plan failing wasn't their fault after all but they still tried their best execute it. it's more of a thank you note.i mean it' in the name guys... chief executive officer. i see this all over the internet and it gets more and more grating there are think tanks for that. who do you think came up with the idea to abolish discs? the CEO? lol. he's too busy >Past results will usually dictate how much of a tight leash they're onsurvivorship bias and you are right but not for the obvious reasons. it's a process on both sides and CEOs with a good track record usually don't want to join failing business and can ascertain that beforehand (the above and their skills)second, this is like going to a doctor. good CEO's don't lie or don't paint a weird picture. they say how it is. so them succeeding is not because they had good ideas but because they respected the process *(because he's not the judge and knows the process)
It was to make the Horizon IP as prominent as Mario/GTA/etc, now that has failed along with chasing the fortnite service trend, the private equity investor consultants have been given free rein to maximise short term profits and asset strip playstation.

>>747570080horizon 3
>>747578004yeah gotta cancel more games to fund new horizon games
>>747570080Crashing everything until you love Horizon.
>>747570080crashing Sony with no survivors
>>747570080>He didn't even look Kojima in the eyes, showing respect and appreciation of what he did 35+ years for sony, he literally gave them games that were absolute system sellerFuck this guy
>>747570080total horizon zero dawn supremacy
Fuck Aloy, she is his waifu
>>747580086why did he make her lesbian then?
>>747570080when Killzone 3 failed. Andrew House yelled at him.He was heard muttering "I swear, I will burn this entire company down even if it's the last thing I do".I don't have proof, but that is what happened
Quite simple, building his own powerHe doesn't care about videogames, he doesn't care about playstation, he doesn't care about anything but his personal brandHe will say he created the Horizon franchise that had xx million players, he will never mention the flops, the titles killed before release, the actual opinions on the games. He loves talking about how Aloy is in Genshin at events, doesn't matter that she's a hated character nobody uses and that the developers hated including.He has his story to sell to businessmen and that's all that matters.He wanted Kojima to heavily tie his brand to Horizon and Intergalactic so they could borrow some credibility
>>747580508Because California can’t conceive a female character that can five her way out of trouble and in the end goes back to a man’s arms because that’s a sign of weakness and patriarchy
>>747570080To be fair, I think Kojima was on some sort of "watch list" not sure how to put it. Where, he sold a weird game called Death Stranding, they allowed him to make a sequel and it sold 40% less. Now he is a financial liability. Then they looked at the gaudy amount of money Kojima was asking and said please get your ass out of our games studio. I heard maybe this is wrong Kojima wanted it to be multiplatform too and then he was essentially fired. XBox is willing to take him in because they need prestige and a nice story in the gaming community more than money.TL:DR as a business decision who knows maybe this was the right thing to do, but the problem is too many Sony decisions are antigamer and unpopular in a row and now people have had it with Sony and they are in danger of going the way of Sega.
Nothing fucking matters. He can fuck up as much as he wants. The moment GTA 6 drops, shareholders will forget all about it once Sony takes its 30% cut from 50 million copies sold on day one.
>>747582856The only real reason they axed him is because sony is butthurt he didn't want to sell his company and make physint playstation exclusive, all that deadline and over budget stuff is complete and utter bullshit, that schreier jew rat doesn't know shit, he just said the most obvious shit for clicks because if he had any inside information on this he would have spilled the beans in june and not 3 fucking months later when sony made it official, you all let this fucking faggot got way too popular
