basically title. What color would you consider this? Is this what indigo is? This is the first time I've visited this sub but you guys seem like the experts. It's hex number is #4B52A2 in case you guys were wondering?

I based my whole drip around my threadling build. Loved the vibes of the bleached-hive ornament for euphony.
It just feels so good to not loose a rafaam to aggressive card draw.
Let's just put the receipts on the table:
Feb 2024: ~900 PlayStation Studios layoffs. London Studio dead. (Windows Central)
Aug 2024: Concord ships Aug 23. Servers off Sept 6. Full refunds. Years of dev, gone. (GameSpot)
Oct 2024: Firewalk (172 jobs) and Neon Koi (38 jobs) closed. (Game Developer)
Aug 2024: Bungie cuts 220 employees, ~17% of workforce, less than two months after their most successful Destiny 2 expansion. (TechRadar)
Aug 2025: $50 price hike across all PS5 SKUs. "Challenging economic environment." (Axios)
Apr 2026: Second hike. PS5 base now $649.99. Pro at $899.99. That's $150 above a 2020 launch price on hardware that should be getting cheaper. (BBC via AOL)
May 2026: Bungie ends Destiny 2 development June 9. Significant layoffs incoming. No Destiny 3. (Bloomberg, GeekWire)
The kicker: Sony has booked a $766M impairment loss on the $3.6B Bungie acquisition. (This Week in Videogames)
And the response from PlayStation leadership is a blog post about "continued pressures in the global economic landscape."
No. The pressure is that Sony's executives chased Fortnite money, spent $3.6B on a studio whose flagship game they just killed, greenlit Concord, and bet the live-service farm. They lost. And the bill is going to workers (laid off) and us (paying $150 more for a five-year-old console).
Pete Parsons, who oversaw the Bungie acquisition and the layoffs, stepped down in mid-2025. He's an avid classic car collector. (The Sixth Axis) Hermen Hulst still runs the Studio Business Group. Hideaki Nishino is still co-CEO of PlayStation. Find me the executive who took a real hit for any of this. I'll wait.
Meanwhile every six months it's another studio closure, another round of layoffs, another price hike, another carefully-worded blog post, and we all upvote the headline and move on.
What's the actual line? $999 PS6? $89.99 games? Another studio? Or is there no line and we just keep paying more for less while the people who actually make the games get cycled into the unemployment line?
TL;DR: Sony's executives made expensive bad bets (Bungie, Concord, live-service strategy), lost billions, and the people paying for it are the laid-off devs and consumers eating two PS5 price hikes, while leadership stays employed.
