Krazee Kenny Kutagari Steps Down From Sony!

[VictimOfScience]

It is with great sadness that we witness the beginning of the gradual fade out of a video game legend today, folks. The father of the rebirth of gaming, Ken Kutaragi, inventor and symbol of the incredible dream machine, the original Playstation, has stepped down from his position at Sony Computer Entertainment International. Kutaragi will pass the torch to the next-generation at the next Sony shareholders meeting on June 19, 2007. No word on just what Kutaragi will do now, he will still serve as an advisor to Sony, and he is quoted as saying:

"It has been an exciting experience to change the world of computer entertainment by marrying cutting edge technologies with creative minds from all over the world. I?m looking forward to building on this vision in my next endeavors.?

Man, with all of the rottenness of the PS3 launch, not to mention his absurdly laughable quotables, is this really a surprise??? And what happens next??? Does anyone really care??? I do. Crazy as he was, the man was a great visionary at one point and we all as gamers have many many reasons for which to thank him and respect him (from his salad days at least).

OH! DEAR GOD!

I had no idea who he was until I read the news snippet.

In fact, most of these "big game names" have no meaning to me.

And as he walked out of the building gracefully, he bowed down in front of the Sony Building and exclaimed, "Giant Enemy Crab!", and walked off into the sunset.

Someone must've struck his weak point for massive damage

 

[Lt. Drebin]

SHOCKING!!!!!

He was fired.

 

[Combine Hybrid]

First, he was demoted in last year and now he is "retired". I guess the word "retired" is an euphemism of the word "fired" in the business world...
