The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategy and commercial activity within Global Channel sales and will deliver a single, optimized PC Sales growth and commercial plan to hub and territory teams to implement. Identifying future sectors & partnerships for commercial growth. The plan should support the delivery of the agreed global channel sales critical metrics.

 

To do this they will lead collaboration with partners such as CDS leadership, GSBO Hub and territory leadership, global marketing, WWS, Legal, Corp Strategy, PPM, and other global commercial partners (e.g. Genba, Epic, Steam).

Well yeah, its for those games as a service that they acquired Bungie and other companies that are going to be on PC.

 

For that, I imagine they need to setup a PC retail base in order for them to process payments for games that have constant microtransactions.

 

I love how they think this has to do with PS5 exclusives, or even old PS4 ports that they are pathetically celebrating.

 

How come they didn't need for "senior director" for the 1 or 2 PS4 ports they've already released?:drake: Its funny how simple logic easily defeats their narrative.

The games that Bungie will make for Sony will be published by Sony.

 

hence..........Sony would be responsible for the marketing of those GaaS products.

 

Wow...........notice how that was easily explained.

 

You do know that the Bungie deal called for Bungie's own projects that they themselves release (the projects they said were already in development or had planned to develop), and the ones that they will collaborate with Sony........and that Sony will release.

 

You lost another talking point.

They literally say "beyond PS4/PS5" multiple times.

 

They're clearly saying it as if its a separate experience that isn't related to the consoles. LOL

 

I love how you're now trying really hard, when it really only takes me like one or two sentences to easily explain it.

SIE can be the publisher... but Bungie is NOT a part of WWS.  LOL your pathetic attempt at damage control was already contradicted by the job listing.

 

Try again idiot :tom:

No they are not saying across Console and "Other devices".

 

They are saying it in the sense of "other devices" being different types of PC, and including phones or tablets.

 

Notice how they using the word "consoles" in other parts of the description, but they DON'T USE the word "consoles" anywhere in that sentence?:reg:

 

Its actually you who is not saying anything against the observable facts that I've pointed out.

This listing has nothing to do with game development.

 

It has to do with marketing.  And therefore, its publishing related.

 

So...........you keep on trying to repeat a fact that is irrelevant to the listing.

 

You already know that this is a job listing for a job that is on the consumer-facing end (aka publishing/marketing).

Once again.............another sentence that doesn't mention the phrase "PS4/PS5"

 

Thank you. You just re-affirmed what I said in the previous post a SECOND time.

 

And it would fit the narrative in their listing "beyond PS4/PS5."

 

How are you having trouble not understanding this? LOL
