Can't blame him. Supposedly he relocated to LA last year to make sure their production company wouldn't bring down the rest of Sony.

That's some Illuminati bullshit going on here.[/QUOTE] The plot twist was that it actually was Kaz Hirai the entire time, hiding in plain sight, shit talking his own company
