Well Hermen had a pepensl grudge with Japan before he was even appointed so I'm sure he was itching to kill the studio. But Both Sony leadership and Japan Studios leadership are to be blamed.

I do think their portfolio is still missing Japan Studio tho.

Sony definitely needs more Japanese studios and Japanese style games.

Gravity Rush was top tier. Also would much rather have these on the payroll than the mobile studio, firewalk with concord
You are talking as if Astro Bot or Stellar Blade wouldn't exist and as if they wouldn't have people who also worked in Gravity Rush 1 or 2.

They are there, the shut down teams are the mobile studio and Firewalk/Concord instead.

Some people from the Gravity Rush teams left or were fired, not the entire team. After the restructuring they made Astro Bot, and seems it's the best reviewed, best selling (or in track to be) internally developed Team Asobi / Japan Studio / SCE Japan Studio / SCEJ / SCEI Japanese team ever made.
