why did Jerry sold PCS?

[supermetroid]

Didn't he reply to someone that he wasn't even an art director at PCS anymore?

Yes he did confirm that.

Thats about all I can say for now.

Yeah, thanks. On one hand I'm disappointed as I'd love him to continue with the 1/3 line and see what he could do...but I also feel it'd be weird to stick around considering what a mess he left with the company as the owner.

Guaranteed it’ll NEVER be elaborated on. Oddly enough the New owners claimed they wouldn’t have ever bought the company without Jerry staying on.

Obviously that was somewhat of a snow job to pacify existing PCS faithful.

Having creative differences is a fantastic way to make a slippery, lubricated exit.

Seriously, it was always one thing or another.

I would of liked him to sculpt the 1/3 Ken to go with Ryu and Akuma whenever they got to it.

The most curious thing about all this to me, is what Jerry always said regarding Capcom (i.e. Street Fighter).

Basically, that PCS was their 'favored' producer... that Capcom wanted Jerry to represent them in statue form... etc.

What do they think now that Jerry is gone? Do they care? Are PCS still favored? What do they think of ant's art direction?

Jerry posted himself that he isn't involved with PCS anymore. Something to do with differences of opinion on art direction.

I thought Jerry planned on hanging around, offering art support to PCS, and possibly sculpting a piece every now and then for PCS. This might have suited his needs. Maybe the conflict of art direction was something he had planned all along, as away of getting out, moving on, to make toys?

Simple, he leveraged up PCS like no tomorrow during the hype period with piled up preorders and versions, took everyone's money, then couldn't execute when it's time to deliver 2-3 years later as fresh money dried up, so he found bunch clueless suckers to unload the company onto before the house of cards came down, probably even got some money for "selling" PCS.

In investment banking, we have a term for that, and most people who did this are in jail, not starting a new company.
