I ain't reading all that but this guy's such an arse licker , it's embarrassing tbh
most likely just xenophobia. but you never know.Hermen Hulst is racist and hates Japan, so that's highly unlikely. Which is a shame because the Deviations studio game bombed and Sony still hired them back on under a secret team. PS "leadership" is a joke top to bottom.

stop the capWhat rumblings?
Also there are plenty of other explanations of japan studio closing, including inability to make a game, which is not something that hermen forced on them. You want incompetent studios as part of PS first party? I like japanese games but I can admit that there are basically 0 japanese studios that can release games that are PS first party quality - other than asobi, who they kept. Huge coincidence!
I think you're letting your hatred of Hermen cloud your judgment and allow you to tack on totally baseless claims to make him seem worse to you. I don't like him either but there is absolutely zero evidence of racism. If he were actually racist against japanese he wouldnt be working at a japanese company.
JP studios shuts down. The only JP exclusives PS gets are a result of deals made a decade ago (Ronin and Rebirth), and nothing else

why you included me there?What a gaming flateartherly nonsensical take.
What happens with Death Stranding DC, Astro's Playroom, Gran Turismo 7, Death Standing 2, Physint, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, Convallaria, Lost Soul Aside?
Why XDEV Japan got their own office, is growing and now handles games developed in the whole Asia instead of only Japan?
Why he fired the ones who had Japan Studio making mobile games, or made some big money sinks and turds, or weren't able to have a moderate sales hit in 30 years? Why refounded the studio merging their different internal development team around their most successful team/brand and now are growing on a new office?
Yes, Yun Watanable grew in Spain. He's a great guy and was working in Tango until it was shut down. He also worked on FFVII Remake and Rebirth.
Japan Studio games weren't selling, the team was merged into XDEV and Asobi, Asobi and Polyphony are both in Japan and working, Hermen isn't in charge of 3rd party deals, he runs their internal studios.Common sense, plus theres been rumblings of it, plus hermen becomes head of ps studios, 1 year later, JP studios shuts down. The only JP exclusives PS gets are a result of deals made a decade ago (Ronin and Rebirth), and nothing else
Damn, not sure how a reasonable, nuanced response can stand up to that.stop the cap
As I recall, he said he wished there was a way people COULD tip devs, voluntarily, if they think they deserve it. That's a fine opinion to have. Not sure what's disqualifying about that one.I ain't reading that just for the simple fact the last 2 times i have read what he has to say was..
"I think we should Tip the Devs"
"I feel sorry for Phil and his feelings because of the studio closures."
How about publishers should tip them?As I recall, he said he wished there was a way people COULD tip devs, voluntarily, if they think they deserve it. That's a fine opinion to have. Not sure what's disqualifying about that one.
Apparently it translates to unlikable & he's bitching about that I mean she's attractive but is she likeable ? No lolOh goodness me, the drama these pathetic fanboys are now trying to create.
People are losing their livelihoods, and studios are being shut down, but here we have an idiot trying to expose someone for calling one of MS's Top Brass. "Not a nice person"
Xbox fanboys....the gift that keeps on giving.
After all Ms has done this last week, this last month, these last few years, you still have buffoons like him going out there to try and defend them.Apparently it translates to unlikable & he's bitching about that I mean she's attractive but is she likeable ? No lol
Not sure how those ideas are mutually exclusive.How about publishers should tip them?
Instead of making billions profits out of the same devs.
