“I didn’t belong there any more.”
Katamary Damacy and Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi has for the first time explained his decision to quit publisher Namco Bandai after 11 years working for the company.
In an open and frank admission the Japanese creator expressed sadness and boredom at the videogame industry’s obsession with sequels.
“The reason why I quit Namco was because I started to feel like I didn’t belong there any more,” Takahashi told Eurogamer at the GameCity festival in Nottingham last week.
