For what it's worth, my company also announces executives leaving to the public on their last day. They give employees a heads up by like a week at minimum so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at Sony. Just to everyone else.

Cerny is slowly pulling strings behind the scenes and getting rid of all the executives so he can design the PS5 to be the most powerful console of all time, without any meddling. (also green-lighting Knack 3)
Damn, I really enjoyed him as a presenter. He became a great successor to Jack Tretton over the years.
User Warned: Inappropriate speculation
Sucks. So where's the poll about why we think he left?
My votes are on:
- sexual harassment accusation
Or the new card
- 15 year old tweet

Or what actually happened:
SIE restructure that started last year is finally hitting major positions within SIE.
Question is what is the goal of the restructure.

I work at one of the PlayStation studios. We found out via corporate email at basically the same time the tweet went out.
What did Zhuge say?
S....SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN :(
With that Zhuge post, wondering what's going on.
"If you want to play PS4 games, we have a system for you out there to do so" (paraphrasing)So Sony is hiring now? Jk
Let's see what's next
So much turnover at Sony, and much more than the headlines have said. Huge changes in most departments in fact. I think the development teams have largely been left alone but the executive and producer slots have seen huge change.
Sony definitely need some media friendly/passionate people to put out front. Adam Boyes was great for that but not replaced, Jack Tretton was incredible etc.
Jim Ryan is an excellent executive, but he's not great in interviews or on stage and you need passionate evangelists at the start of a new gen.

It contained messages from both Jim Ryan and Layden. Nothing particularly illuminating about the situation. Layden mainly spoke about the privilege of working at PlayStation for so many years and how he'd continue to be a fan in future. Ryan's message just stated the news and thanked Shawn for his service--same sentiment as the tweet basically.
Can't say that I particularly liked him personally. His comments that were directly contradicted here by the Wargroove devs were particularly irksome, not just more broadly with how PS has communicated with their fans this year in particular.
Good to know.
Good to know.
I wouldn't do that if I was working for Sony but thanks for the insight.
Sorry, i wanted to confirm who he is.
This is the president of sony interactive entertainment japan
Something about consoles not being the future.
I say let the market decide if sony realeases a new system its gonna sell no matter what, just offer cloud stuff from the console itself.
Strange to see that. I always thought they were very satisifed with his work. Looking forward to know who his replacer will be and what impact it will have on the future of Playstation.
Atsushi Morita? The guy who presents the pre-TGS conference Sony usually does?
if the employees knew i think it will go the surface and rumor will starts
