Really sucks. As the others said maybe something can be used for your portfolio.

Sorry to hear anyway and I hope you won't have to face this kinda thing in the future

Here are some explanations.

Hmm, without going into details, that's not a reason we were given. But then who am I to contradict Yoshida San.

I wonder (and this is just my personal opinion) if in a year or two we will see a reversal of this and a move back to action based titles for Sony's European studios, when they realise all they have are US and Japanese action games and a portfolio of lifestyle titles that simply don't appeal to their hardcore consumer base. This industry is too prone to kneejerk decisions and over-reaction.

Well my original post with this link was going to be "Feel free to believe this if you want, I say a good part of it is corporate BS", but I was gonna give the head honchos the benefit of the doubt
