Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony Japan Studio director Keiichiro Toyama, and 2 other veterans, leave to form new studio, Bokeh

Wish them the best of luck and that the studio finds success making great games.

About all the worries on figure heads and key personnel leaving Sony studios the past 6 years, that also coincide with the biggest growth in sales of Sony 1st party games. So what is the point in doing doom and gloom for them? MS hired a lot of these devs but their games didn't really show this improvement in quality and sales so what is the point in celebrating that?

Seems it’s a little common these days to hear that a Sony dev has either joined the competition or left in general. Intriguing

Yes sony is so fucked with all these devs leaving, just look at this year, you can see the quality dropping with playstation exclusives dominating gaming award nominations and with sony releasing ps5 with games everyone is praising 🤔

____________
Ya this doesn’t sound defensive at all...

Please explain to me as if I were a 5 year old how much the people that left Sony studios impacted those studios, games, reception, critics and sales. Because you looked really worried about Sony for a second there.

I made a sarcastic comment but i could instead replying to you with how i feel about your behaviour in this forum but then i would get mass reported by your friends and banned and you would be laughing behind your pc. So keep doing what you do because apparently moderation does not mind. 

I didn’t break a rule. Sony devs have been reported to have left for one reason or another. The articles are there for all to see. You coming in with “Ya but Sony has the gamez and awardz!”....how is that relevant to the thread topic?

I never said they did. I’m sure Sony replaces people like any other company. I don’t write these noticeable articles all year, don’t look at me.

You don't write articles, but you certainly commented as if a problem was occurring and sounded very alarmist.

Seems like I read 6-8 articles within the year. Also with Naughty Dog during LOU2 developments. Collectively it meant something to me. If I sound very alarmist I apologize rather I want to come off as regular alarmist. 

Tbh I’m not very invested in this. It’s just peculiar is all.

And what does it mean to you? Because you were already exposed to the games not being affected by it and called that defensive, so were you attacking?

It means there’s some retention problems with high level employees, nothing more. Sure the end users like us don’t feel any impacts, hence me just making an observation. That guys tone warranted my reply, it was said differently then how you said it.

Good for them, I hope their studio does well in their future endeavors, whatever those may be!
