🎮 October 2024 is filled with rumors about the gaming industry, particularly regarding Sony and the game Ghost of Tsushima.

📰 Demian revealed that Sony was reportedly shocked by the reveal of a female protagonist in the game, which led to unexpected backlash from the gaming community.

🤔 While some rumors may seem unbelievable, it highlights how out of touch Sony may be with their fan base. They were under the impression that the game would follow the same path as its predecessor.

👩‍🎤 Sony had to know about the female lead, as they acquired Sucker Punch in 2011. The confusion suggests a lack of communication between the studio and Sony.

⚠️ The backlash was not just about the character but also about the perception of Sony pushing a broader agenda, which fans were not interested in.

📉 Sony's previous chairman's comment, "if you don't like it, don't buy it," indicates a disconnect with customer sentiment.

🔍 There are rumors that key talent at Sucker Punch has left, and the original vision for the game was different, focusing on Jin Sakai.

⏳ Development on the game is reportedly not on track for a 2025 release, raising concerns about its future.

💔 Overall, this situation reflects Sony's struggle to maintain loyalty and trust with their audience amidst mixed reactions and internal confusion.
