Amazing. Hopefully that company moves into the 21st century and allows crossplay to all their online games, and perhaps even a step further and redecuding exclusive games and add release more PC games.

MODERATORS
As much as I hate to say it, I dunno that reducing exclusive is the best play right now with Microsoft locking down Bethesda and anything else they can get away with.
And a fair refund policy
Curious why everyone in the comments (as of my own comment) is happy about this?
Sure, he exudes C-suite personality and doesn't act like he's a gamer. But that doesn't matter. He oversaw Sony's rise to dominance in the console market. That dominance is built on the foundation of their first party AAA games — which is a less than ten year old change for them. Sony porting their big games to PC was a project that was fully embraced under his leadership.
Point being, as a gamer it seems like he's done a fairly decent job. I don't care how boring his interviews or speeches are or that he looks and acts like he belongs in a board room — they're all like that anyway even if their public persona says otherwise. I care about games and treatment of consumers.
I don’t get it either. PlayStation have release some amazing first party games, and equally great consoles over his tenure that have captured my imagination and passion many times over. These are the things that matter, not some idealised or stereotypical c-suite gamer persona. He’s done great things with PlayStation and deserves the credit for that.
I'd hardly pin their rise on him, in 2019 when he took over it was already pretty clear they were on top in the high end console front. If anyone should take credit it's Don Mattrick lmao
Compared to Phil Spencer, he comes across a bit of a Superintendent of the Fun Police.
Good that he's going, hopefully the next CEO is someone who actually likes games, maybe that's why Kamiya stepped down at Platinum...
Kamiya has no business being the CEO of a billion dollar megacorp subsidiary and that's one of the best compliments I can give someone.
Good riddance. He's a man you could always tell doesn't play games.
Great news!
