PlayStation's Live-Service Optimism Makes No Sense After Bungie Layoffs

PlayStation is apparently still optimistic about live-service games, but it couldn't have picked a worse moment to say so. In comments from PlayStation president Hideaki Nishino, mentioned today through an X post from Insider Gaming owner Tom Henderson, Sony made it clear that it still sees live-service games as a major part of its future. According to the report, PlayStation believes live-service games can attract players on a global level and wants to "revitalize the market" through first-party and third-party content.
