President of Sony understands criticism of Hello Games

President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, didn’t really have Hello Games’ back when the subject of No Man’s Sky came up in conversation.

Speaking to Eurogamer at the Tokyo Games Show, he said that he understands some of the criticism being levelled at Hello Games and Sean Murray. He believes that the developer’s approach to PR pre-release built up unrealistic expectations.

Shuhei Yoshida said: "I had the opportunity to play the game right before launch - and I restarted playing the game on launch day with the Day One patch - so I could see the struggle for the developers to get the game out in the state that they wanted."
