posted today, Kamiya has expressed his gratitude by thanking fans for their continued support of his work, saying that he will carry on making games and do his best not to disappoint (via VGC).«I thought I’d be bullied more because of my usual behavior, but I’m so touched by all the words of support I’ve received,» Kamiya said. «Thank you so much.»
«I’m not worried about my future at all,» he added. «As long as I have your support, I’ll keep making games, and I’ll do my best not to disappoint you. When I decided to quit, many of my old and young colleagues and staff were sad to see me go, and some even shed tears for someone like me.

However, another tweet in today's thread suggests a reason behind his decision to leave, with Kamiya saying, «I will continue to believe in the spirit of creation that I have always believed in through my career at Capcom No 4 Development, Clover Studio, and Platinum, no matter what anyone says.
»I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue to make games that live up to that belief – I don’t have a formula for success, but I’m committed to aiming for it."

He also went on to head Devil May Cry in 2001, as well as the action-adventure game Ōkami in 2006.

Payday 3 dev says it's making 'a bunch of changes' to the game's detested progression system 9 days after saying it had no plans to do so
Payday 3 has had, shall we say, a rough launch, and one of the main sources of player protest has been its progression system. Heisters just aren't thrilled that your infamy points—the things you accrue to unlock new weapons, cosmetics, and what have you—are tied exclusively to the game's challenges. It can mean that players whose goal is to unlock new gear are better off completely ignoring their heist in order to focus on blasting as many cops as possible to tick off 'kill 20 enemies with this gun' challenges. A little backwards, for a Payday game.
