Hidetaka Miyazaki kommentoi pelialan tilaa ja mittavia irtisanomisia

Pelialalla iso nimi on Dark Soulsin ja Elden Ringin isä Hidetaka Miyazaki. PC Gamerin haastattelussa häneltä kysyttiin pelialan tilasta, ja mitä hän ajattelee viime aikojen runsaista irtisanomisista.

Irtisanomisia ei mielellään ole tulossa ainakaan hänen vahtivuorollaan. Toisin sanoen ainakaan nyt ei vaikuta siltä, että irtisanomiset kohdistuisivat From Softwareen.

"Speaking to myself and this company, I want to say that this is not something I would wish on the staff at FromSoftware in a million years. I'm pretty sure our parent company Kadokawa understands that and shares that view...I think it was the old ex-president of Nintendo, Iwata-san, who said that 'people who are afraid of losing their jobs are afraid of making good things.' I'm paraphrasing that, but I totally share this view."

"I think the people at Kadokawa, our parent company, understand that I hold this view very strongly. While we can't say 100%—we can't say with complete certainty what the future's going to hold for From and Kadokawa—at least as long as this company is my responsibility, that's something I would not let happen. So hopefully our players and our fans can take a little bit of assurance from that."
