Jim Ryan fired Shuhei Yoshida because the Japanese refused to do “absurd things.” According to Yoshida himself, during his 30-year career, he helped create many cult games, including Santa Monica's God of War, Naughty Dog's Uncharted and The Last of Us, and Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima, which was the last game during his time as the company's president."Having grown up with Jim since the PS1 days... you wouldn't want one of your friends to become your underling."After this, Yoshida received a separate role promoting indie games and was pleased with it.However, he decided to go freelance last January with his indie games consulting firm, Yosp Inc.Essentially, he now does the same thing, but without the restrictions of PlayStation, allowing him to discuss Nintendo, Xbox, Steam and generally express himself freely. #game #Steam
