I’ll be watching to see if that trophy/platinum count goes up. lol seriiusly though while theres some bad things with regards to the store and plus team you my friend have been brilliant in your time and will be sorely missed by the comunity. again good luck in your future endevours.

Good luck James!

As a side note i would suggest you guys should headhunt Mr Jeff Green from EA as your new social media community overlord.

Hey James, it’s been great working with you ever since we launched PlayStation.Blog in Brazil about 1 year ago. We’ll miss you for sure. Best wishes from our crew and let’s play that FIFA match someday. =p

Best wishes for you, thanks for extreme patience

Let me tell you James, that as a reader, I loved to see how you got involved with the community — always noting you guys at the other side of the screen were looking forward to our suggestions to make this blog better, for example.

Hope your future is bright as the day and with not many clouds on sight!

James, I spoke to you a few weeks ago on this but i’ll say it again. I wish you all the best for the future & I hope that everything works out well for you.

You’re very polite & a generally nice person. The Blog certainly won’t be the same & I hope whoever takes over, has the same mindset as yourself.

Take Care

Best of luck James, all the best.

Ah I think you just said you’ve actually left now; so probably can’t reply to this :p Anyway Best of Luck I hope this has nothing to do with their earnings call and like a change of direction in marketing etc :/ (although I think you’re tv adverts need to target people other than us and explain features better for vita anyway ) So are we going to see you appearing anywhere else in the games industry? can you tell us that even if you can’t tell us where it actually is you’re going too; anyway best of luck (right before E3 too :/ )

haha, yeah james i do type in caps alot you been a good friend to me, thank you mait and i hope we play uncharted 3 someday! 1 vs 1 i really wanna beat you and put it on youtube (if you want)

Good bye James and good luck. Hope you’ll be happy in you’re next job!! You will be missed here on the blog every week.

Goodluck with your future endevours James, we can only hope your replacement is as goot at the job as you have been.

Best wishes an good luck !

Well, Mr Gallagher, the most suitable words I can think of just now are those of Hancock: “Good job!” (Although you really should still play FFVII…) Farewell.

awwwwwww that’s terrible the only decent person on the blog leaves we’ll miss you james you’re a cool person good luck in your future activities all the best maybe 1 day you’ll be back.

Good luck for the future James.

Good luck in the future, thanks for all your hard work!

Goodbye James. Thanks for being a great blog manager.

I hope your successor interacts with the community just as much as you did.

Good luck mate!

All the best James. We’ve all enjoyed your work here. I know your not in Sony towers any more so I’ll get response but all the best.

James… Firstly Thnx for the effort and enthusiasm you brought to the blog, as All have allready said it Will be missed, Best wishes (as always) for your new (?) position. Cannot add more to whats been said today allready, nor to the ‘mini-debate’ on this possibility in last saturdays weekly round up.

Ok to business then, I Was expecting this, reason being is that whenever (it seems) EU customers are Really becoming annoyed over regional discrepancies or general poor service, (Not by You, btw.), then ‘some’ clever high grade manager or team from SCE decide, it’s good practice to do some in-house reorganising, noticed it happen with previous manager, And with ‘lower’ (ranking) members of blog.. Just Move ppl around/elsewhere in industry, and buy some ‘breathing space’.. Now i can’t imagine SCE being to obvious..ie promoting/moving you ‘in-house’, Though lately there strategies have left me ‘wondering’. .. Well surely you Know my ‘outlook’ by now, so you know thats just how I see stuff.

One thing i really hope the next manager introduces is some form of moderating the moderators, I did have James support my overly moderated, then allowed x-hours/days later comments And noticed an improvement in the regularity… But it ‘seems’ i am again on the hit-list…. Example.. 30plus modded posts, one delete.. once took 36 hours for a moderator/computer (?) to allow my comment.. Would really like to see some kind of report log made each time a comment is needlesly modded/delayed.. Just out off interest/curiousity etc…

Also be interested to see if my ‘comment’ on this blog gets UN-modded.. or if this one is allowed.
Just another pet hate i got, But they Do have a tendency to build up and multiply… or so i hear.

long as your not going to [CENSORED] Xbox team who shall burn in hell! If not all the best

Real shame to see you go James, best of luck with whatever comes next for you and thanks for everything you’ve done for us through this blog

Cya James! You’ve done a great job on this blog, always answering everyone’s questions politely and interacting with the community where possible.

You were awesome and i can only hope that the next blog manager is good enough to follow in your legendary footsteps. Good luck on whatever you choose to do next

Sad day today :/

You’ve done a fantastic job, James, you can be sure that we are going to miss you. I can only wish you all the best for the future, good luck and take care.

Finally some fresh air will come but it’s not only the blog that needs a change sony, mostly scee needs a people overhaul, make it happen.

Other than that I wish all the best in your professional career.

I Can understand that comment.. But i just kinda don’t believe it, or think it’s fair, ie. i doubt we’ll get any fresh air by another manager.. maybe a bit of a breeze while he/she introduces and outlines ‘their’ vision, only for things to soon return as they are now.
As for the getting rid or moving of ‘people’ in scee. Very understandable, but again this would just be another short term fix.. imo the people running scee Are doing ok.. But sony/sce itself are the ones who need to give them more people or resources, ie the power to deliver the same service (And content) that other regions ‘seem’ to have had since like forever, i believe that unless sony/sce decide to do away with this regional business model things will Never get better for us.. and ‘may’ even be the end of the EU as their main ‘fanbase’.. But i defo agree that ‘fresh air’ is much needed atm.

Sad to see you go James, all the best in the future ^_^

People same to be saying nice things, so I think I’ll turn around and be the one that says the bad thing. With no disrespect of course. I could see this coming ages ago, and I’m happy it has come to this, when you see an manager reply to you, like your a pig in a cage, you can’t help but feel happy that things may turn around, clearly he did not enjoy his work, and always had this strange way of posting comments as if he was always grumpy. I hope he approaches people in a more happy giggly way.

I agree with the posts above actually about hopefully getting a woman to be an Manager, Women are far more caring, great with communities, and have this thing about them that people just love and enjoy. Its always sad to see people go but to be honest, sometimes its for the best.

i don’t know you because i don’t visit this annoying blog much,if i did i would most definitely be sad that you are leaving.

anyone knows why this damn blog keep signing me off all the time ? does this happen to anyone else ? i hate this blog & the playstation forum for this very reason. Sony is a hard work.

Cheers Mr Gallagher. All the best!

sorry to see you go, could always depend on you for a honest answer, good luck.
