Shuhei Yoshida to receive BAFTA Fellowship

BAFTA to recognise the SIE veteran's work "as a champion of independent developers".

Well deserved! He’s done a lot since he’s been with PlayStation. Glad to see him helping external independent creators now.

[BandarHub]

Well Deserved, He has a strong passion for games.
I am sure that the not acquiring the souls series haunts him to this day.
He should replace Jim Rayn as CEO of Sony

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Well deserved mate.

[S2Killinit]

Deservedly

[Bathyj]

One of the few genuinely nice guys of gaming.
There's plenty of pretend nice guys.

[porkChop]

He absolutely deserves it. Shu has always been great.

[zsquaresoff]

Absolutely deserves the award, unlike Phil 'the lying snake' Spencer.

Shuhei was Excutive Producer on one of my favorite series, Ape Escape! I remember back in the early PS2 days Sony promoted him to being in charge of first party games, and I didn't know who he was at the time. After he got the job, Sony first party quality games greatly improved, especially their western output. He has played a critical role in improving the PlayStation brand and games. A well-earned award! Here's the list of his game credits.

Shu is one of the very few execs in gaming who I like . Cerny as well. I’m sure there are other likeable people but they aren’t in the public eye . Phil is the anti-Shu
