Shuhei Yoshida's Resignation Prompts Massive Outpouring of Love for PlayStation Legend

Everybody loves Shuhei

In case you missed the news, Shuhei Yoshida, a legendary PlayStation executive, is leaving the company after 31 years. It's unclear what his next steps will be when he leaves in January, but what's absolutely clear is that everyone adores the man.

With the announcement came a tidal wave of love and support for Shu, with developers, publishers, and individuals all tipping their respective hats.

Looking through the quote reposts and replies to the official announcement is very heartwarming. There are too many to share them all, but here are some we spotted from notable people and teams.

There are plenty more posts just like these from people in the industry, all echoing the same sentiment: Shu is a legend. Indeed, we've met him once or twice at gaming events, and he's as kind and enthusiastic as everyone says.

It might be a little funny to get sentimental about a corporate exec handing in his notice, but it should be clear from the above that Shu has garnered an enormous amount of respect and admiration from those in and outside the industry. His genuine passion for games and jolly demeanour have made him one of PlayStation's best-known and best-loved public figures.

A huge congratulations to Yoshida-san on an incredible run at PlayStation, and we wish you all the best for the future.
