🤨 Shuhei Yoshida says he didn't leave the Sony studios presidency by choice, the decision came from Jim Ryan, and Yoshida believes he was FIRED.
After more than 30 years at Sony, he led SIE Worldwide Studios from 2008-2019; Hermen Hulst replaced him and Yoshida moved to an indie role. At Alt:Games he explained he refused some management demands he deemed unreasonable, which he believes prompted the removal; he also suggests that opposing the company's push toward live‑service games might have played a part. Even so, he says working with indie developers proved important and rewarding.
