After 38 years at Sony, Shuhei Yoshida reflects on his career and the transition he made in 2019 when asked to lead an indie initiative. Facing the choice between leaving or embracing this new role, he chose the latter, motivated by his passion for indie development. Yoshida shares his goal of making his position obsolete by fostering successful relationships with indie developers. Since leaving Sony, he remains active in the gaming industry, now advising indie publishers and developers while cherishing the legacy he contributed to at PlayStation.
"Moving from first-party to indies? Well, I had no choice. When Jim asked me to do the indie job, the choice was to do that or leave the company."
"My personal goal, when I started the indie job, was to make my position obsolete. The company would be doing so well that there was no need for someone like me to tell everyone that this was important."
