Sony’s CEO Kenichiro Yoshida mentioned in a recent interview that they are going to create countermeasures against video game addiction, mostly as a response to the World Health Organization attempting to formally recognize it as a disorder.
Speaking to various news outlets, Kenichiro Yoshida had little to say on the subject:
“We need to take it seriously and adopt countermeasures. We’ve already implemented a ratings system (to restrict players by age) and have been taking measures based on our own standards.”
Considering Sony achieved a net profit of ¥916.27 billion for the year ending in March, the company has a strong reliance on the success of its games, though rather than letting individuals be responsible for themselves, Sony seems to be planning to act as parental figures for their consumers.
This is further evidenced by Sony’s “protect the children” mentality when it comes to censoring the sexy content of Japanese games; the company seems intent on being against what consumers want in games, despite being a producer of video games.
The WHO will be including gaming addiction into its International Classification of Diseases at an annual assembly soon, providing help for health professionals by allowing them to report such cases and create measures against them as well as treatment.
Its time for this nitwit to step down, hes driving the company into the ground, we need someone who throws the hq back to japan where it belongs, while throwing up a double middle finger defense against the sjws and feminazis specifically, this guy is too old to run this company anymore.
Nah, let it burn. We need Soyny to die so that no companies will follow the same path as soyny does
You think companies learn from others’ wrong decisions? Little chance, but maybe this time it will happen after seeing a giant fall.
Sega collapsed after continously making poor decisions in the console market. So there’s little chance Sony would learn. Some over at Sega HQ thought it was a wonderful idea to keep releasing pointless console add ons & new consoles every few years. Leaving developers & fans pissed at them until few supported the Dreamcast.
Actually it was Sega’s western branch that suddenly went insane and began to look down on japanese games. Much like what Sony is doing now and also what they tried to pull with PS3 at launch.
Going by Japan release dates as they came first.
Genesis/Mega Drive – Oct 1988
Game Gear – Oct 1990
Sega CD/Mega CD – Dec 1991
Sega 32X – Dec 1994
Sega Saturn – Nov 1994
Developers: FFS SEGA.
Sega Dreamcast – 1998-2001 – RIP and Sega leaves the console market.
Who the f♥♥k thought releasing so many machines in such a short space of time was a good thing?
Don’t forget releasing the same sonic game again and again but under a different name
Which of course was a shame because the Dreamcast was a wonderful machine with some truly great gems that more should have played.
i disagree, we need more and better game companies. not burn the ones that we have to the ground.
No, we need to burn the current game companies to the ground. That gives space for new companies to rise up.
We should never reward companies who are anti consumer with our loyalty.
And what? Go to the competition? Go ahead, I’ll wait.
I agree. It has come down to the point where WHO and everyone else on both far sides are just becoming dumber than normal. Get this guy OUT, move the HQ back, let Sony be big again WITHOUT THE BULLSHIT. It is crap like this that will drive the final nail on Sony’s Coffin.
See, the thing with Sony is that it isn’t just a game industry, it makes tons of other electronics plus it owns music companies and has a hold on plenty of movie companies.
Also, as you can see from the current wave of hype picking up after the preview of the PS5 there’s going to be a ton of people buying it even if it’s shitty, mainly because it’s going to be retarded little kids nagging their parents to buy it instead of teens and adults who know better.
I have a suspicion this is nothing to do with western bleating and everything to do with China as a market.
Yeah. China has recently become quite concerned with this issue.
Considering how large the Chinese market is, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.
Sony CEO: “We do not want people to use our products.”
With all of Sony’s recent gungho attitude for censoring all things titty, it seems that way doesn’t it?
When did Sony turn retarded?
They moved to the Snowflake Capital of the World – California. Where Soy runs through the veins of virtually every citizen and males are emascuated to the point they are no longer considered male as they produce too much estrogen.
Would someone explain the “soy” thing to me, please?
I’m not an English native speaker and it’s either because of that or because I’m lacking in meme knowledge that I don’t get it.
Soy has Phytoestrogens, which are plant estrogens and triggers the same response
in human body that estrogen does. It tricks estrogen receptors to carry out certain changes in the body. Examples being, men become more feminine, emotional mood swings, men starting to develope breast fast and depression.
Soy in low quantities is not bad but high, daily consumption will lower testosterone and boost estrogen levels making you so called soyboy.
You can do your own research by searching “Soy estrogen effects”
It’s a dumb meme based on bad pseudo-science that makes the mistake of thinking that soy protein produces estrogen. In truth, it does nothing of the sort (otherwise the Shaolin Monks would all be nuns by now).
It’s a fact, retard. They even called soy as “Estrogène Végétal”
Science fact, actually.
Many already give you lots of information but if you want more. Here, watch this.
Why Do They Always Look Like This?

Others people already explain about the soy and estrogen. I would like to add more that the “soyboy” are consume very high dose of soy per day, and many of them replace food with only soy. Like the BuzzFeed guys that tested their blood and people found out that their testosterone level is very low. Their testosterone is at the same level that of people at 85-100 age bracket. That’s the main reason why all the “soyboy” are looks the same.
Another food that need to avoid consume in high dose is beer. Because hops that needed for making beer have estrogen in it.
Forgot to add. Some summary.
Estrogen (female hormone) : make your skin smoother, bigger breasts (even in male), bad concentration, mood swing, earlier period, less hair on body, hair fall and bald, thin hair, gain more weight and fatter, and more risk of getting cancer especially breast cancer. In male: low libido, having problem getting penis hard, shrinking penis and more likely to have a micro penis, cum less and less sperms in cum, more likely to can’t get penis hard after cum just once.
Testosterone (male hormone) : make your skin harsher, more muscle, stronger, better concentration, more hair on body, less likely to turn bald, thicker hair, less likely to get cancer, higher libido, easy to get penis hard, don’t have problem with shrinking penis and more likely to have a bigger penis, cum more and higher sperms in cum, can cum many times with no problem. But make your skin more oily and lead to acne problem.
Consuming large amounts of Soy milk/products can lower a males testosterone levels drastically. Put simply, if you want to be a pussy SJW inject that s♥♥t into your veins. If you want to be a manly man, stay away from it.
they went full retard. you never go full retard….
I swear, these CEOs and executives are literally insane.
It’s less about insanity and more about complete and total disconnect from the rest of the world.
Isn’t that literally insanity?
