Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him from his job as President of SIE Worldwide Studios after Yoshida refused what he called "ridiculous" demands. Yoshida says the showdown happened in 2019 when Ryan told him to either accept a demotion to work on indie titles or leave first‑party leadership. Sony reassigned Yoshida to lead PlayStation Indies after the decision. Yoshida frames the move as being removed from first‑party management rather than a voluntary role change, explaining why he shifted to indie promotion.
