He is not employed by SCEA. SCEA announced FF Type 0 for Vita via THEIR blog. He simply retweeted news from SCEA's OFFICIAL communication channel which should be a reliable source.

He is Senior Business Development Manager for SCEE, a completely different company to SCEA. He thought SCEA had sealed down Type O for Vita and got excited because, believe it or not, he's actually a passionate gamer and had been campaigning hard himself to get Type O brought to Vita.

People really need to understand who works for who and what their remit is before shooting off vitrious drivel that is completely unjustified. Without Shahid, Vita's post 2012 Western output would have made the Virtual Boy look good.


If you are going to share information publicly it might be best to check said information for accuracy beforehand.  Anyone whom works for any business should take the time to do that to avoid embarassment not only for themselves but for their employer as well.   He made a bad situation worse and he's going to get shit for being negligent and unprofessional because that is what his behavior was. A little patience and a phone call or email could have avoided this entire situation.  

Sahid and his apologists need to understand that this is exactly the behavior he has already been criticized for many times.  If he doesn't want to keep getting lambasted for it then he'll need to change the behavior.  It's 100% justified. 

Same goes with his haters who refuse to admit his contribution to the localization of several psvita games. The guy is far from perfect and he's made several mistakes as an employee of Sony but that doesn't change all the good he's done for vita and many things going on behind the scenes that we'll never know about.

I have acknowledged what he has done multiple times. Matter of fact I detract Sony for not giving him the resources to do more.  So you might want to direct that comment elsewhere.  

No matter what whom has done for any platform doesn't make unprofessional behavior any better than what it is.  

I did not accuse you, specifically, of anything. You may wanna re-read my reply.  You spoke of apologists, I spoke of haters. Both cases are extreme, thus wrong. I agree with you. His behaviour was unprofessional and should be criticised, but there's a difference between that and calling him names and claiming that he's full of shit as if this case of lack of prefessionalism is any proof that he had nothing to do with any localizations or indie games making it to vita.
