Former PlayStation boss, Shawn Layden, has finally revealed why he left the company, almost two years after his departure.
Now, almost two years after his departure, Layden has revealed in an interview with Bloomberg that he left PlayStation to avoid burnout and to put a good pin in his legacy at the company.
"It's a young person's activity," Layden said. "I felt: This is a good time to put the pin in my legacy."
"That seemed like a good time to step off on top and allow another generation to take the PlayStation 5 to market,” Layden said.
Bloomberg asked Layden if his departure had anything to do with current PlayStation boss, Jim Ryan, in light of rumors that the two didn't gel. The publication writes that Layden "wouldn't get into specifics there," but that Layden simply answered, "I think I took my time at the moment I saw best to take it [and] I couldn't be happier."
Elsewhere in Bloomberg's interview, the publication touches on an hour-long conversation between Layden, who now serves on the advisory board at Streamline Media Group, and Streamline CEO Alexander Fernandez. In that conversation, Layden explained his concern with the rising costs of AAA game development.
Layden said game development costs seem to double with each generation, citing that the PlayStation 4 titles he helped get out the door each cost at least $100 million.
"If we can't stop the cost curve from going up, all we can do is try to de-risk it," Layden said. "That puts you in a place where you're incentivized toward sequels." He then went on to predict that PS5 games will end up costing $200 million to make and that prices will only go up from there.
