The thing is none of you really know exactly what Hands off or hands on means. What I mean by this is that I see a lot of speculation but for all we know, Phil has been very involved. Basically you have to work with what you got especially when it comes to development. If projects were not ready, the wose case scnerio is to release it and it bombs. You rather take the delay and fix the issues or at least make sure you come out with a solid product. For all we know, it was Phil decision to delay everything because the polish level was not there. Some studios adapt really well to COVID office restrictions and some do not, its a case by case scenerio depending on the structure of each studio.
At the end of the day, Sony have better seasoned studios and it shows. A lot of situations you cannot just right the ship right away, you need key people in order to make it happen. Time is never on the side of any company trying to play catch up.
