@locutusofburg said in Sony double standard.:
The show only had a one year, and this year possibly an 11 month lifespan. They don’t have months to fix it...it needs to be good from the get go.
I understand your point, but in reality your argument actually goes in SDS favor. The show has a 1 year cycle, 1 year lifespan/ 1 year development. Within this 1 year of development they added Xbox which they had never done and also had to develop it for next gen. They had a year to design a game for 4 different consoles and get it to where all 4 can play online with each other.
Cyberpunk on the other hand, yes has a longer lifespan, yet they also had 8 years of development on the game. It also had no multiplayer component, so all they had to do was make an isolated game. Cyberpunks release was completely unacceptable an honestly was felt like a major scam in the end, especially as they never allowed reviewers to play the early copies on consoles, just pc so they could get the best reviews possible.
I’m not saying the state of the show is acceptable, but it’s way more understandable as to why there are some issues.
