<p>The departure <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/289472/Former_Harmonix_COO_named_PlayStations_new_VP_of_dev_relations.php">comes a year after</a> Hunziker took the job as vice president of publisher and developer relations for PlayStation. This change could potentially affect Sony’s relationship with its game partners and indie developers.</p>
<p>This managerial shift takes place months after Sony Interactive Entertainment president and global CEO Andrew House <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/306918/PlayStation_boss_Andrew_House_is_departing_Sony_after_27_years.php">left the company in October 2017,</a> with John Kodera taking his position.</p>
<p>Hunziker had replaced Adam Boyes, who helped recruit a number of third-party developers to the PlayStation 4. It is currently unclear why Hunziker left.</p>
