Oof. The disrespect.

Sidelining visionaries like Shu is a surefire way to stumble. Just look at Sony’s recent track record, stinkers like Concord and a graveyard of failed projects, all in a desperate chase for live service clout.

They forced him to move specifically because he knew this was a bad idea

with @yosp-jp.bsky.social we would have gotten less remaster/remakes of 5 year old games and actually more new AAA IPs and probably bloodborne 2. Still great that he sticked to PS and worked with indies. Hes a passionate gamer and loves indie games. He was one of the suits that plays and it shows.

Jim Ryan was a massive mistake for PlayStation.

Even though it was never specifically stated we all knew. It was because he knew Sony was being incredibly stupid and they didn’t want him holding back the stupid. He said as much in his recent interview with Kinda Funny. Surprisingly candid, but I would do the same thing regardless of my career.
