Man, I wish my company would do that, I’d resign, pay off my house! 😉 I’d even have money left over!

Blows my mind that Sony was supporting the PS1, 2 and 3 in 2006.

They are still making PS4 games. Just because a new gen launches doesn’t mean the previous gen is cut off.

The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.

Seems likely given the overlap between generations.

PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???

So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…

PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

I wonder how many people were layed off multiple times?

Your studio closes, you go to another studio which gets merged in with another. That kind of thing?

This is in line with what I’m seeing locally. Weird they aren’t doing a fire sale like Sam’s Club:
