jim ryan is far from unanimous within the PlayStation community, and it is not this story that will restore its image. Bloomberg was able to get hold of an email from Jim Ryan sent internally to his teams, where ECO speaks out on Roe v. wade, which is currently shaking the United States. This judgment is the subject of many discussions in the country, since the Supreme Court of the United States could adopt a decision which would call it into question, and would then give the choice to the federated States to legislate themselves on the right to the ‘abortion. While all this is controversial in the country, Jim Ryan cracked a most clumsy email.
An annoying absence of position
In this email addressed to his employees, Jim Ryan then addresses the case, and asked his staff to “ respect everyone’s differences of opinion » :
” We owe it to each other and to the millions of PlayStation users to respect the differences of opinion between everyone in our internal and external communities. Respect does not mean agreement. But it’s fundamental to who we are as a company and as a beloved global brand. »
An amazing statement knowing that Bungie, now under the aegis of PlayStation, took a stand without delay on this storycondemning the possible backtracking that the country is making on the issue of abortion.
Standing up for reproductive choice and liberty is not a difficult decision to make, and Bungie remains dedicated to upholding these values.https://t.co/zCjZZC2NkH pic.twitter.com/c0t4s4Xp1D

According to Bloomberg, this email stuck in the throats of many PlayStation employeeswho also deplores the tone of the email, knowing that Jim Ryan would then have followed this message with five paragraphs where he evokes the birthday of his two cats and his desire to have a dog. And no, it’s not a joke (it would be in very bad taste).
A rather lunar communication, which should not really improve the image of Jim Ryan, already well decried.
