This is the saddest news ive heard in a long time. But, designing playgrounds does seem like it would fit him. Lets hope he comes back someday with something just as wonderful.

That is kind of upsetting that the guy who made the Katamari games sees no future in video games. Really says something.

That really sucks! if all the interesting and creative games call it quits, every game will become a Call of Halo: Shooty Shooty Bang Bang! game. variety is the spice of life!
