JOB UPDATE!

I've been wanting to say this for a while, but now I finally can! ????

I'm a Junior Game Designer @PlayStation Studios.

And I work for Jason Blundell. ??

Seems to suggest that Jason Blundell is at PlayStation Studios?

[kitler53]

or that he rejoined deviation and Sony acquired them?

I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
Was assuming that Deviation project was no longer with Sony.  

It seemed like there were some burned bridges. They still had the PS studios partnership tweet  up, but I thought they got rid of a bunch of other PS studios stuff, so people assumed that the arrangement ended badly.  

Welcome back bro

This might suggests that Deviation Games is still partnered with Sony (unless it's a general statement about being back in the industry.)

One of the game designers formally at Treyarch left for a secret studio.



I really doubt that SIE has a secret studio, but there are some weird things here.

This is an older tweet, but it might be interesting.

Apparently got promoted to a Creative Director position at PlayStation with no Studio name.

(2/2) Thank you all so much for the support and growth of MLB The Show, this amazing community, and me personally! I look forward to sharing more about my new gig in due time. ????

Insomniac got hit by ransomware.

A lot of stuff has started leaking. Contracts for future games, Wolverine trailer, Wolverine cast, so far.

[the-pi-guy]

Apparently a roadmap of the next 6 Insomniac Games have leaked...

[BananaKing]

The info being released from the insomniac leak is crazy

Sales numbers. Exclusivity agreements. Licensing fees

[Horizon]

Yeah some of it certainly interesting

[nnodley]

the fact they have 6 games roadmapped is crazy.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Insomniac only made $567 profit on Sunset Overdrive. Meanwhile, they&#39;ve made almost $47 million on Spider-Man 2018. <br><a href="https://www.resetera.com/threads/sales-for-insomniac-games-ps1-spyro-11-9m-ps2-ratchet-13-8m-fuse-317k-sunset-overdrive-1-9m-ps4-ratchet-5-7m-miles-10-r-c-ps5-2-2m-ect.796962/" class="bbc_link">Sales numbers and profit margins</a><br><br><br>

Less spoilery.

Sony is concerned about Activision

yeah i saw some of this earlier today.  I'm pretty hyped if some of them do come to fruition.

Why does this feel fake and an attempt to put Sony in a bad light. As Sony said anything about this yet?
