I don't think Insomniac has nearly the leverage to pull something like that off when Sony already owns every single successful IP they've ever worked on before the purchase. Bungie made a huge risk to leave Halo behind, but they didn't have nearly the dependency that Insomniac has since Fuse and Sunset Overdrive were demonstrable failures.
I miss Shawn and would really like to know how his leaving and Jim taking over really went down cause it seemed out of nowhere at the time.
yeah as long as the donation is going to a recognized charity that will earn a company tax credit they'll match it regardless of the mission of said charity. i also doubt much research is done when matching other than if it's eligible or not and matching employee donations isn't going to be all that much money compared to a publicized campaign or sponsorship
It's very unlikely that Jim Ryan just tooled up an e-mail on a whim and sent it to the entire organization. That e-mail would've gone through a review/screening process before being sent out.
Some of yall truly just saying wild stuff to people you know nothing about on gaming forums.
Doesnt matter, they earn 30% on every dollar spent on PSN.
I wasnt wrong.
The fact that this has to be up for discussion at all is absurd.
You don't need PSN to play XIV lol. And even if you did, to insinuate that the poster made that statement to "cover their own back." God.
Exactly. Those who are saying not to put the blame on Jim because this is a Sony-wide policy are missing the point. It was Jim's completely tone-deaf email that dragged the whole corporation into this mess. They should fire his ass for being a proven PR liability. At the very least, they should allow studios to speak their mind on the matter.
this is why corporations should be banned from political donations, they arent people. And its trash that this is now the case and this is the repurcussions of them now having to take political stances when most of the time they have been pretty much political neutral. Something will have to give unsure what though.
The Miscalculation here was them thinking it would stay internal, and the stance shouldve been more fleshed out in terms of that we will support women affected and leave it at that and we are weighing options and waiting on a ruling to see what we (sony) will do to help workers affected or some shit. Whatever that was prob was the worst response. They pretty much could've just said nothing or support without directly supporting and called it a day And still play both sides which is what all corps do.
If they're doing their jobs, maybe they're trying to get a comment before printing/releasing.

I mean all of this stuff is internal…They didn't let Ted Price say anything from what I'm reading in the article.
Most companies are silent. Thats why.
If you see the two stances above. This is what shouldve been said. And probally wouldve been received well enough without having to go full " we support Reproductive rights. Etc. etc. Which I dont think most Corps will go to at this juncture without a ruling.
What Sony has decided to do is pretty much the same as what a lot of other companies have decided to do so far, we just have a few insider details as corroboration. But you hardly need those details to know that the fact that most other companies and their employees are unresponsive at this time doesn't actually mean all those employees are gung-ho anti-abortionists. There is no doubt plenty of orders in place to either prohibit employees/departments from talking about it publicly at all or only doing so through "approved" channels. This is nothing new with the way companies try to control messaging internally.
Pretty much.
