Shuhei Yoshida, the bespectacled president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, didn't attend the BitSummit independent game festival in Kyoto on July 11 simply to deliver a speech and reaffirm Sony's commitment to indie developers — he wanted to try out some games.
And so, before and after his speech, Yoshida darted around the event hall at Miyako Messe, interacting with developers, taking pictures, playing games and tweeting up a storm.
"There are a lot of games to play," Yoshida says. "It's amazing. There are so many games that I have heard about but never seen."
