This time the studios waved their arms Jacob Minkoff (Jacob Minkoff) and Taylor Kurosaki (Taylor Kurosaki) – both held the positions of leading designers.

Tlow shot too much, https://casinowinzter.co.uk more profitable offers rained down – the people began to blame. It sounds dangerous whether Anch4 will show whether units in creating chic games or good heims of the company are more than a set of eminent personnel.
P.S. The projects “From the Chief Designer Tloou” “From the director Katsen Ancharted 3” and T will be sprinkled.D.
Well, I’m talking about their game department and meant: if it makes a profit, then why cut it funding and reduce the salary of a worker? Most likely, the people on the wake of the success of all Last of USs simply received proposals more consistent from other companies. But then it is not clear why Sony is so easy to look at the fluidity of personnel from one of their most profitable studios.

I think that after the TLOU release for the Naure Dog will not be a particular problem to find new employees, but the fact that Infinity Ward finally had people who are able to do something good, it’s good, as for me.
Quite normal. The studio rakes loot and many employees begin to whine that they are the cornerstone of the team and want more (more money, career growth, etc.), and their native studio "underestimates" them. The question is whether they will find happiness in a new place ..
I could be mistaken, but at the beginning of this year (in the first months), there were news that all units, except for the gaming one, which just makes a profit, Sony has unprofitable.
However, I do not think that leaving can be associated with this.
“Yesterday, Sony published a full report on work during the financial 2013, which ended for it on March 31, 2014. The annual revenue of the company consistently increased by 14.3% to 7.76 trillion. yen (up to $ 75.4 billion.). At first glance, not bad. But the yen in a year weakened by 17.1%in relation to the dollar, and in relation to the euro by 20.3%. If Yena remained stable, then the annual revenue of Sony would decrease by 2% over a year. The company notes that there would be even more a fall if it were not for a good demand for new PlayStation 4 game consoles and branded smartphones.
The real deplorable state of the company is noticeable to reduce the annual operating profit by 88.3%: from 200 billion. yen to 26.5 billion. yen (up to $ 257 million.). Of this amount 91.7 billion. yen ($ 890 million.) falls on losses related to the PC business and for the amount allotted to withdraw this business into a separate and not owned by Sony company. Sony also admitted in sharply poor sales of optical drives and batteries. It must be understood, if not for the weakening of the yen, the operating profit would be even less. Partly the company was saved by increased income from smartphone sales and reducing losses from televisions sales. Pure Sony losses in the reporting year amounted to 128.4 billion. yen or $ 1.2 billion. This is a huge amount. For comparison, in the last financial year, the net losses of Sony amounted to 41.5 billion. yen. You can’t live like that. As a gesture of goodwill, the executive director of the company and a number of senior managers reduced their wages by half."
Perhaps they were really lured or they themselves wanted to change the situation, as employees of Western firms like to do – every 5 years to change the place of work. 🙂
