Recently, the creative director and screenwriter Days Gone John Garvin took part in the creator’s podcast God of War David Yaffewhere stated that if gamers like a game, they should buy it at full price, rather than wait for sales or giveaways on subscription services like PlayStation Plus… In the context of posting about cancellation Days gone 2 The media linked his words to the situation at the Sony Bend studio, but Garvin later clarified that he was talking about the industry in general. He is surprised that these words were a revelation to someone.
“I said this: If a game can’t make money, then it won’t continue. It’s a financial, marketing and business fact. I can’t believe you are shocked by such statements. And by the way, I wasn’t talking about Days Gone at all. . I have not worked at Sony Bend for two years, “explained Garvin.
According to the game designer, he doesn’t know anything about the current state of affairs in the studio.
“I told Yaffe that I have no idea what the studio is working on today. I am not familiar with the financial side of the issue. All my judgments come only from personal experience. On PSP I was knocked down by piracy [в случае с Syphon Filter]”.
Garvin is an example of the PlayStation Vita – the console was good, but its sales left much to be desired. As a result, Sony dropped its support for powerful new content.
“It was worth explaining my position better. On fingers to convey that if a product cannot make a profit, then they bury it. Remember about PS Vita? Again, I do not know all the exact numbers and I simply do not rely on common sense.”
The game designer pointed out that people often demand something, although in fact they did not spend a dime to get the subject of their interest. Or they paid too little.
“Have you ever had such a thing that you really liked a film, but you did not pay a penny for it, and then regret that the director did not shoot a sequel?”
Nobody forces you to anything. Don’t like the game? Does it have a lot of bugs? Do you listen to the opinion of the press? Is the price tag too high? Do as you know. Just do not buy this very game later in a year on sale, then sing praises to her and at the same time cry that she will never get a continuation“.
Garvin believes that there is nothing provocative in his words. The product must be successful, otherwise it will be abandoned.
“I was previously noted for provocative statements. But this is not one of them. Lack of profit almost always equals lack of further support. End.”
Now the network is collecting signatures for a petition in support of Days Gone 2. To date, more than 50 thousand people have supported it.…
