PlatinumGames: president steps down, GDC panel recording

Tatsuya Minami

Tatsuya Minami is a name you’re definitely familiar with if you’re a fan of PlatinumGames. After all, he was the one who co-founded it back in 2007, and has been its president ever since. Yesterday, GameBusiness reported that Tatsuya Minami had stepped down late last month, and has been replaced by Kenichi Sato. Unfortunately, we don’t know why he stepped down.
