The former head of Sony's Worldwide Studios left the company rather abruptly in late September, without a reason given. While there wasn't much of a suggestion of ill will between the two parties, it's nice to know that Shawn Layden's departure hasn't left behind any bad blood.
The man himself has been active on Twitter for the past couple of hours, wishing his former colleagues all the very best in their new roles. Guerrilla Games' Hermen Hulst is now head of PlayStation's Worldwide Studios while Shuhei Yoshida has shifted positions into a role which will see him "look after and nurture external, smaller independent studios".

has there been any indication/reason why shawn layden left?. he may have stepped down for personal reasons that he doesn't want to disclose, which he has every right to do.
If you don't think he has any bad blood with Jim Ryan then I have a bridge to sell you.

Layden liked a few tweets and the press made up cool stories about it. Its always the same interest for interesting stories. Now you already can see people spinning Shu new role as another power struggle or forced 'westernisition' cool story.
The trutch will come out at some stage
I like Shawn. He gets bonus points for resembling a guinea pig.

Seriously though. These s a big problem with journalists circle referencing one another opinion and even they think its factual news.
