Another one leaves it seems. Any news of who will be replacing him? I'm not a fan of this new set of executives leading the way for Sony.

We hear this everytime someone leaves. When PS4 launched and a bunch of old timers left everyone was like I don't like these new people and eventually everyone got used to them.

I had never seen this man's name until this thread, but I am of course very concerned

Michael Denny along with Shuhei are the guys who gave green light to Media Molecule's Dreams.

👍👃♥️

Unfortunate to see him leaving, but good luck to him.

This seems a bit of a 'get' for Warner's game division, I wonder this means for TT Games moving forward?

There had been loads of talk about AT&T putting serious money into WB Games, I wonder if this is a sign that they are looking to increase the studio's output?

He was at the PlayStation Meeting where the PS4 was announced in 2013. Not sure if I've seen him in other conferences though.

I wonder if he was overlooked for replacing Shu and Hermen got it, who was technically under him, was now his boss?

Shift of power with Jim at the wheel. We will see how it plays out when PS5 is launched and Jim finds himself in a situation he didnt expect.

The guy has just such bad vibe all over him. Realy dislike him and I dont even know why. Its just a feeling you have when you see someone and you know he is a jerk or not a pleasent person.

After the problem with Manchester Studio and other closures maybe it's a good thing

You dorks do realise that Michael Denny, head of WWS Europe, would've worked with Jim Ryan, former head of SIEE, for years, right?

Anyway, with Herman Hulst leapfrogging over Denny and Scott Rohde (head of WWS America), this doesn't come as a huge surprise to me. I'm pretty sure he's been head of WWS Europe for over a decade at this point and with the top job taken by someone else, I'm guessing he decided to start looking for something new. He's done a great job with WWS, so this is a good get for TT/WB.

I would appreciate if you dont start calling names! This time I wont report you but next time your on. Its just a feeling Im having and I as a lifetime PS fan I cant say Jim is doing a fantastic job with PS5.

It's a ridiculous feeling. You know nothing about this person really and you're on about bad vibes and him possibly being a jerk. Spare us this type of silliness.

Maybe you r right and I was to harsh. But I stand by my point that he is doing a poor job so far with PS5 (thats my opinion)
