Sony spent up to $400 million making a single video game. It sold 25,000 copies in 14 days before Sony pulled it from sale. Cost per copy sold: about $16,000. The studio shut down two months later. The executive who warned them had already been fired for saying no. The game was Concord. The executive was Shuhei Yoshida, who ran Sony's in-house game studios for 11 years and helped ship some of the biggest PlayStation hits ever: God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima. These are games you buy once and finish. Sony made billions on that model. Spider-Man alone generated $315 million in digital sales. The Last of Us 2 pulled nearly $250 million. God of War Ragnarok sold 15 million copies, with $279 million from digital downloads alone. Then in 2019, a new CEO took over PlayStation. Jim Ryan wanted Sony's studios to stop making those kinds of games and chase a different model: live service. Live service is Fortnite's model: games designed to keep you playing and paying forever, earning money through endless small purchases instead of one-time sales. Ryan told his team to ship 12 of these by 2025. Yoshida refused. Ryan removed him from running the studios and gave him a choice: take a smaller role working with indie developers or leave the company. Yoshida took the role and stayed at Sony for another six years. At an industry event in Australia last weekend, he finally said plainly that Ryan fired him from running the studios for refusing to do the 'ridiculous things' Ryan had demanded. Of those 12 live service games, 8 were cancelled before they ever came out. Naughty Dog killed a Last of Us multiplayer game in late 2023. Bend Studio's sci-fi game died in January 2025. Twisted Metal and a London fantasy game were both scrapped in early 2024, and the London studio was closed. Insomniac's Spider-Man multiplayer was abandoned. A God of War live service game was cancelled, then the studio making it (Bluepoint) was shut down this past February. A Destiny spin-off was scrapped. Deviation Games, a studio Sony had partnered with, was shut down before shipping anything. Only one of the 12 actually worked. Helldivers 2 was a big hit. But the studio that made it, Arrowhead, isn't owned by Sony, and they've already said they won't partner with Sony on their next game. The total damage under Ryan: $3.7 billion spent buying Bungie (the studio behind Destiny), up to $400 million written off on Concord, and roughly 1,500 jobs lost across studios that got shut down. The PS5 generation is now short on the kind of games that built PlayStation in the first place. Yoshida was pushed out in 2019 for saying no to one strategy. Five years and a few billion dollars later, Sony's current CEO says the new plan is to 'fail early and fail cheaply.'

The Ghana Immigration Service has arrested over 600 undocumented migrants, including 381 children, in a dawn operation across parts of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region. The exercise, led by Ashanti Regional Commander DCOI Fred Amankwa, targeted areas including Asawase, Alabar, Aboabo, and Sabon Zongo following concerns over street begging and sanitation. All 606 persons picked up have been sent to Prampram for screening and identity verification. #CitiNewsroom #Security #GhanaNews

Lmao. This is awesome. It's true too.

Thragg’s parents must’ve been terrified when they realized they’d have to jump their own son on his 18th birthday 💀.

Don't make up stories to ignore red flags 🚩 You will regret it.

See how heartbreak is making a 48 years old man cry. His wife married someone else without divorcing him and it’s even her 3rd marriage 😩 He got to find out about it on Instagram.

“The Regional Minister, Interior Minister, Local Government and Chieftaincy Minister, and the Regional Police Commander are all involved, but I am reminding them that power is transient.” - Asantehene on Sampa chieftaincy disputes

Girls are being slaughtered in Kebbi after being kidnapped from their school. Kidnappers struck on Ibadan-Ijebu road. Kidnappers abducted people on Benin Ore road. Now Boko Haram is demanding a whopping £2.7m ransom. Sadly, all of these don’t matter to the so called President. His supporters like @seyilaw1 will say “it is not today they’ve been kidnapping people in their house”. We are dealing with demons! Ire o✌🏽

Another player who has “conquered” more nations than the great conqueror

A round-trip flight from New York to Shanghai next month starts around $1,039, a 5-star hotel averages about $124–$138 a night, and an MRI in Shanghai is roughly $99–$164. That means you can do the whole trip for around $1,400. Plenty of Americans pay more than that for one MRI.

The genocide in Nigeria continues as christian are being brutally beaten to death with clubs by Islamists in Nigeria. Where is the outrage?

📌Honestly guys, I need someone to explain what Hansi Flick is doing… They’re saying the net spending of FC Barcelona managers over the last 16 years is: * Ernesto Valverde — €480 million * Luis Enrique — €220 million * Xavi Hernández — €250 million * Pep Guardiola — €150 million * Ronald Koeman — €90 million * Hansi Flick — €25 million!! Yes… what does that even mean? Two years and he has only spent that amount — less than what even the smaller La Liga clubs spend twice over — and yet he’s producing all these numbers. And forget the trophies for a second… the amount of goals scored is unreal, and the number of chances the team creates every match is insane. Honestly, it feels unbelievable.

You can take it as a joke but that’s some pure facts ngl

Barcelona Rules in Spain Once we win our La Liga now we will go to 77 domestic trophies 😁😁

Guys come check this out 😂😂😭

🚨🎙️ Xavi Hernández On Atlético Madrid: “Some teams don’t play to win titles, they play to disrupt others. And when that becomes your identity, you celebrate moments instead of building history. At Barcelona, we are judged by trophies, not by who we eliminate along the way. Beating us might feel like a final for them, but for us, it’s just part of the journey. The difference is simple: we compete to lift cups, others compete to stop us from lifting them.”

That’s why in Ghana, most divorce proceedings are held privately in the judges’s office.The only people present are the judge, the couple and their lawyers Cos the kind of mind blowing things that pop up in divorce proceedings can’t be said in front of an entire court audience😭

???

“You bald headed demon..” is still one of the best line delivery in the MCU 😭

🚨🗣️ Lamine Yamal on who’s the best player in the world: “Everyone has their own opinion. I’m still young, I’m still learning, but I know I have quality. I don’t like comparing myself to others — football isn’t about that for me. Right now, there are many incredible players performing at a high level like Michael Olise, Pedri, Harry Kane, Declan Rice and Rayan Cherki.” Interviewer: “What about Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior?” Yamal: “For me, I don’t see them as the best in the world. Maybe it’s because they play for Real Madrid… but everyone sees football differently.”
