Kim Hyung-tae, the CEO of Shift Up and the lead director behind the popular PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade, has addressed criticisms regarding the story and writing quality of the hit action-adventure game. It's typically uncommon for developers to directly comment on negative reception regarding their latest games, so to see the head honcho at Shift Up respond to Stellar Blade players' feedback is encouraging, as it shows the company's willingness to improve instead of resting on its laurels.
