      Shuhei must feel slapped in the face. After Shuhei helped studios produce win after win during the ps4 era in the role of Head of Worldwide Studios, when Jim Ryan cleaned house and demoted Shuhei replacing him with Herman Holst and fired alot of other execs that helped steer Sony back from the ps3 era to a winning position in the ps4 era. Now seeing Herman Holst and Jim Ryan fumble the ball with Lego Horizon, Concord, Bungie purchase and wasted resources on live services, might seem like a slap in the face to Shuhei, Layden and others.
      I wouldn't be surprised if Shuhei moves on to bigger and better things than his current role he was demoted to at Sony.

    The writing is on the wall. When the top guys and long term people start leaving, that confirms that Sony is slowly dying. Concord was a huge nail in the coffin weather Sony wants to admit it or not. They need to go 3rd party or they will die on their console sales numbers.

He's basically the Undertaker of PlayStation. The platform would feel weird without him around but at least he's leaving with confident and not regret.
