Former PlayStation Boss Says He Had “No Choice” But To Take Indies Job
Yoshida shared with VentureBeat that his move from working at a first-party studio to an independent one wasn’t a decision made lightly. When Jim offered him the opportunity to work on an indie project, it was essentially take that offer or leave the company. His passion for supporting PlayStation and independent developers played a significant role in his choice. He felt strongly that he could make a unique contribution in this new role, and this shift from first-party to indies seemed like a more personal growth opportunity for him than simply leaving the company this year.
