Bad news: Playstation is starting to block their games from running on Proton. Playstation Overlay is blocked on Linux in Ghost of Tsushima. The same thing happened with the Concord beta. (x.com)

They created a lot of novel and inventive games. Shadow of the Colossus is definitely their magnum opus but it’s the small weird games they were notable for that I feel Sony is missing at this point. Astrobot getting a full game is encouraging but I think Sony needs to further step back from their carousel of third person action games.

They didn't create Shadow of the Colossus. They were a support studio for Team Ico.

Same thing for almost all of their games. The Astro series is from Team Asobi. Gravity Rush was from Team Silent/Team Gravity/Project Siren (that studio kept changing its name). Parappa the Rapper was NanaOn-Sha. Death Stranding was Kojima Productions. Patappn was from Pyramid.

LocoRoco was an original, but that series hasn't been touched since 2008. I doubt many of the original devs were even still there by 2021. Ape Escape and Legend of Dragon are similar.

Japan Studio has too many games to check them all, but all the ones that I recognize as good and memorable games are from other studios.

They were all part of Japan studio though, at least they left together to create bokeh studio.

That's like saying that Square Enix Business Division 3 isn't Square Enix, but you would never deny they made kingdom hearts, so weird seeing someone going to bat for Jim Ryan.
