Most of this shit is coming from the American subsidiary. The American subsidiary and the Japanese parent company have had an adversarial relationship for as long as the U.S. branch has existed. For better or worse, the U.S. market is huge and thus the U.S. branch has a lot of power to do what it wants. Its similar to how the U.S. branch of Sony is far woker than the Japanese company but it makes the company so much money that they made the U.S. branch in charge of all of Playstation.
