LinkedIn profile for Sony Marketing Manager reveals God of War netted 500m in revenue, HZD 400M, UC4/Tlou 1B each

They're putting the info out publicly. I think it's fine.
Man, GTA online is a cash cow too, maybe not on the level of fortnite, minecraft or ultimate team money but close no? Would you know which of these make more in MTX?
Yeah, I remember Resistance 3 and the weapons.
That would be great if they'd include Retribution too.
Do you know how LinkedIn works? They put the info for public, they want people to know. It's their achievement.
Its LinkedIn though. The whole idea of LinkedIn is that it is a public resume that shows what you have worked on and what your skillset is. The entire premise is based around marketing yourself to future employers and being spammed by recruiters you never respond to unless you are actively looking. You're not supposed to put anything identifying on LinkedIn that's confidential or under NDA. That would detract from your LinkedIn profile and be a huge red flag that says "I'm not trustworthy" to the audience you are marketing yourself towards.

God of War surely must have passed the 1B at this point
I wonder how Spider-Man did o.O
If Spider-Man grossed between 1-2 Billion, would that mean, the game was more profitable than the movies?

I remember when I stumbled upon Michael Knowland's account and it mentioned TLOU 2. This was two years before it was revealed, although I didn't have a GAF account yet to break the news.
It gets tricky though when nearly all projects you work on are technically confidential, and you have to figure out how much you can get away with disclosing. I guess I'm fortunate that my field doesn't garner as much attention as game development does.
nope, although this is less weird than the ones tracking creatives looking for clues as to a studios direction
developer from studio a has gone studio b
from which we will conclude that studio a is doomed, and studio b is making the same game that studio a just made
here it's some suit bigging up themselves by leaking numbers and burning bridges
Damn, does that mean TLOU/U4's MP were big money makers?
If that's so, I can see why ND is taking their sweet time with Factions.

It's also why they continue to release stuff like The Last Guardian. It's not going to sell 10 million copies but it is a prestigious title from a lauded creator. It helps widen the scope of their offerings as a whole.
"Stop stalking people. That's weird!"
"It's a public profile. Nobody is being stalked?"
"What if they're lying, though?"
Not sure what your point is. Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with your initial point or the reply to it...
Huh, I had figured Killzone 3 underperformed since it didn't seem to build on the success of Killzone 2, and there were stacks of leftover Helghast Editions at Best Buys for years after release.
Glad to hear otherwise. I really hope Guerrilla's second team is working on a new title. Especially since it will be the first Killzone that's been given plenty of time to bake since Killzone 2.

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I was speaking metaphorically lmao
I have no idea if it's net or gross
yeah the SP thing was the first thing i thought of when i clicked on this thread--- of course GTA Online probably makes this look like chump change
oh ok, i mean, even with the remastered, 1 billion in profit seems like a lot, that's like a f2p game like league or fortnite right or maybe COD in its heyday?
Damn, that's so true. I'm sure Animal Crossing did incredible numbers for Nintendo.
Good to see them being successful. Sony first party games are constantly among the best. Love my story driven single player bombast. I hope they stick to that this gen.
Now there is a site I haven't heard about in a LONG time.
Spider-Man PS4 is without doubt more profitable than any Spider-Man movie, including profits from box office, home entertainment and global TV deals
The most profitable Spider-Man is Far From Home with an estimated $339M net profits for the studio (by Deadline)
From high sales during launch period where Sony booked 95% of revenues from Store sales (with a $60 purchase) + 66% from each physical $60 copy and long term sales on Store (and physical), Spider-Man PS4 profits grew faster than Spider-Man movies profits from box office + DVD/Blu-Ray sales + TV deals
Definitely weird, doesn't matter whether its public information or not. These are regular people, not celebrities. I can't imagine what it would be like having people digging through your career moves and CV.
No need to feel uncomfortable. Its like any other social media platform, but this time simply targeted to working professionals. I understand it can feel more personal because people networking and stuff, but it doesn't need to be treated with satin gloves. People have a profile there to get jobs and promote themselves, and all info they put on there is free to view to anyone having a LinkedIn account. Its not any different from someone hosting their resume on their own portfolio website or something.
edit: I guess people have issues with the individuals that people check on being just normal developers. Honestly if you are working in this industry you should already be comfortable being a public figure in some form or another since its all about selling yourself publicly to potential employees, either trough LinkedIn profiles or portfolio websites like artstation.

that's crazy, i wonder how big the split between Sony and Marvel is
Me to...
to be honest I purchased all Sony big games day 1 from PS3 to PS4 and have to say that they really earned my trust...
I will continue to buy all his big games from PS5 day one.
