This kinda feels like Sony forced this to happen. I have no supporting evidence, it just feels like it to me.
You'd be right on the money imo.
I've been a AAA developer for almost 2 decades, and there is no way in hell they did not explicitly sign to have the sony account linking. I didn't like the way he acted on twitter acting like the poor indy dev getting wrecked by the tyrant, when he was hoping it would fly.
He thought it would be okay to sell your data for his chance at making a game. When it backfired due to popularity, he didn't take any responsibility and let sony look bad. I bet there's a lot of people at Sony who didn't like that.
Pretty cool. Nice to see someone so passionate about their studio that they stepped down to be in a more creative role.
There’s something to be said for knowing when you’re in the wrong role and fixing it rather than doubling down.
