Damn what a fucking tease for nothing. If I worked 34 years I'd want out eventually.

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Are we supposed to know who this is?

34 years… she’s probably retiring.

 

[Orbital2060]

In terms of workplace culture, she has most likely been an integral part of that being what it is. Ie a person well liked by many others. And she probably knows a lot of people in the industry, she is also taking that with her.

Maybe hard to understand if you only ever flipped burgers at McD, but it has to be a big loss for people who worked with her for all those years.

 

[Schmendrick]

It seems those social media retards get more and more desperate about finding "news" to get attention.
And the fucks posting it on these boards give it to them by spreading it around....Just why?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Imagine if you had some internet goblin tweeting out dramatic shit like this everytime some high ranking person at your own company leaves?

I mean, this stuff happens all the time, even for people at the company for decades. We don’t know the details. Very unlikely this person is responsible for sharpening up the graphics on Level 2 of the next Sony Santa Monica game

I doubt Jaffe is freaking out if she is just retiring. I'm guessing she was pushed out or something.

 

[rabbity-thing]

Came to look for this gif. Succeeded.

So did I . When I didn't see it, I had to post it.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

How disrespectful!

 

[TexMex]

Hold on does this mean David Jaffe said something inflammatory on the internet for attention? Excuse me? Surely not???

 

[Slikk360]

34 years is nothing to be sad about she had a good run with sony.

 

[Aenima]

So this was Jaffe crush? Ok.

Before you insult everyone in the thread, could you provide an actual reason we should care?

That "most likey" is doing a lot of heavy work in your post.

 

[CuNi]

Devastating..
Disrespectful..
I don't know how I will be able to get any sleep tonight..

I bet it took her a whopping 12 minutes to get another job... Can you imagine the dread and fear this poor soul must have endured in this time frame!?

 

[GymWolf]

Huge gaffe on sony's part.

 

[Tg89]

She can use all her newfound free time to solve some of the back breaking puzzles Metroid Dread has to offer.

 

[JackMcGunns]

David Jaffe was the disrespectful one with this nothing burger.

 

[Kerotan]

She's getting the booth.

 

[Comandr]

So it was all a big load of fucking nothing?

The only way I could see this working out to the tone Jaffe was alluding to is if she was actually fired for some reason after 34 years and denied any kind of benefits, retirement, severance, or whatever the case may be.

 

[phant0m]

Wow so it was really nothing huh

Fattest nothing burger I’ve ever seen on this site relative to the drama around it.

I’ve been primarily a PlayStation gamer for the better part of 2 decades and never heard of this person. No disrespect but I think PlayStation will be just fine.

 

[Robb]

 

[veterangamerUK]

Jaffe prematurely ejaculated over THIS?

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Vigilante 8 was better than Twisted Metal anyway.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Playstation is 34 years old?

I've been a PlayStation gamer since the start. I know who she is, but I've known who many of these people are because I was interested in the business side of things early on.

With my tinfoil hat on, and perhaps some misplaced hopes. Between all the internal moves we’ve been seeing at Sony (and across the wider industry), it feels like there is a major realignment away from GAAS. There’s been increasing public rejection, with a graveyard of large scale flops, whilst the big hits are straight up single player games. For Sony I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of this activity is gutting of people intimately tied to Sonys big pivot to GAAS.

People take their personal feelings and they come to their own conclusions

This news has brought me to my knees and the world to a standstill, I will be posting a video later of me smashing my PS5, just absolutely disgusting #deathofPlaystation.

 

[Loomy]

The fucked up thing in all this is that this news should have been broken to the world by SIE, and to her friends, family, and colleagues by Connie herself, instead of a midnight tweet with no confirmation of what happened, why it happened, etc.

 

[Kurimao]

 

[Salmon Snake]

It might be bad for Sony and it's first party but I have no idea who she is.

 

[Fess]

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

On her LinkedIn says shes 26yrs with Playstation, not 34.

 

[Esppiral]

Who? That is the terrible news? Lol

 

[DAHGAMING]

So this is the news that fucking soy boy expects us to cry about, fucking hell.

 

[Syphon Filter]

PS fanboys coping, its never a good thing to lose an original. This is why PS has not been good since after PS3, now it's just movie games and walking cutscene sims.

Holy shit. Of all the dumb takes ever written on this forum.

 

[Tomeru]

Damn, industry changing and disrespectful and disappointing news!

What if she went to ms?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

On her LinkedIn says shes 26yrs with Playstation, not 34.

It's 34 with Sony.

 

[Matsuchezz]

That is a long time in the company! I hope her replacement is a good fit for the company.

 

[Pedro Motta]

I guess Jaffe knew her on a personal level, and maybe aware of the work she has dedicated to Sony for 34 years?

That's all I can come up with for how he mentioned it. Just because we don't know her, doesn't mean she hasn't worked her ass off for 34 years at Sony?

Has she been axed in some shitty way, or just retired...that would be the kicker here.

Jaffe always mentioned Connie Booth and Scott Rhode as the best execs and the enablers of the incredible projects done at Playstation, you know, the kind of people Microsoft needs to run their studios.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

So disrespectful to have such a long career and move on, wow.

 

[X-Wing]

Hold on does this mean David Jaffe said something inflammatory on the internet for attention? Excuse me? Surely not???

How else will he pay his bills

 

[A.Romero]

Playstation is 34 years old?

No but she was part of Sony since back then if I understand correctly.

Sony entered the video game business in the later part of the 80's publishing some stuff under the Sony Imagesoft brand.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Damn, 34 years with a single company. I'm not really familiar with her, but I wish her luck.

 

[Celcius]

Who?

 

[Unknown?]

Why is there always drama when someone retires from PlayStation? It'll happen the next time someone no one has heard of that's been there since 1993 leaves.
