"Sony already knew everyone would be pissed off," former God of War Laufey dev says, so it started enforcing the "strictest social media guidelines" after announcing the end of PlayStation discs

Former God of War Laufey writer Alanah Pearce revealed that Sony has enforced unusually strict social media guidelines for employees following its announcement to end physical PlayStation games in 2028. Pearce said PlayStation first-party studio staff told her the restrictions are "the strictest" they've ever seen issued, and that Sony anticipated the decision would provoke significant backlash. She characterized the heightened controls as evidence Sony knew the policy would become "an enormous PR issue."
