Adam Boyes, PlayStation's VP of Third Party Relations, is
leaving Sony Entertainment America to return to his game-developing roots.
The executive announced his resignation Thursday on the
PlayStation Blogcast and via Twitter.
"I have made the super, super difficult decision to
leave PlayStation," Boyes said in conversation with Sid Shuman, SIEA
social media senior manager. "It's been an amazing run," he said of
his four years with Sony.
Despite what he called an "incredible experience,"
Boyes is chasing his dream of making video games again.

"Making games, seeing all the success and seeing all
the people out there doing great things and putting caution to the wind is
pretty exciting," he said of his "big, dumb decision."
After bouncing from Electronic Arts to Next Level Games to
Midway Games to Capcom, Boyes ran Beefy Media for two years before taking a job
with Sony, where he oversees publisher and developer relations and manages
third-party partnerships.
"It's actually the longest job I've ever had in my
career," he told Shuman, looking back on a 21-year career in gaming.
"This job has afforded me the ability to go and look at
stuff way before it comes out, and talk to developers. But now I get to go up
there and use my own ideas and make things again with a team, and that's the
kind of stuff that just … fills my bucket," Boyes said. "Not that
[working for PlayStation] isn't amazing. It's been incredible. But creating
things again is so neat."
Boyes did not reveal his official last day, where he is
going next, or what video games are on his horizon.
