Recent reports suggest that Sony has implemented its most rigorous social media policies to date, affecting both current and former staff members across its entire corporate structure and associated development studios. This significant tightening of communication guidelines reportedly follows a period of considerable community backlash related to a recent announcement concerning physical media.
A former developer, previously with one of Sony’s first-party studios, reportedly characterized these new directives as the most stringent social media guidelines they had ever encountered from the company. It appears Sony is taking firm steps to control the narrative and discussions surrounding its recent decisions on physical game releases among its workforce.
