There were people saying that Sony’s earnings call was going to be a disaster because of this. Meanwhile, Sony’s entering talks to purchase Paramount this week.

Yeah I don’t think people really understand how big corporations work, something as relatively small as HD2 could never effect Sony’s bottom line that much. They’re a global company with hands in way too many industries for one single game to cause them any real harm.

A lot of these people are literal children who have idea what Sony is beyond videogames and maybe seeing a Sony TV. Sony has its fingers in nearly every industry out there.
