PS4 We were living in a Japan Studio renaissance and it’s a shame we live in a timeline where only Team Asobi was the only thing that remained

What? What renaissance are you referring to?

The only Japanese game dev “renaissance”, which is a loaded presumptuous word, was around 2016 when Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dark Souls 3 (and slightly earlier Bloodborne), BOTW, Yakuza Kiwami, MGSV Ground Zeroes, were beloved and specifically after a few years where ignorant morons were falsely ignorantly claiming that Japanese game design was either “dead” or in the shadows. The ignorant sentiment seems to be based on biased trivialities like the idea that Japan-origin studios didn’t have something like Skyrim in the west, or the fact that Binary Domain didn’t succeed well as a Gears of War copy, or that Wii U wasn’t a big success, or maybe (most rationally) the fact that PS3 was the only one that “lost” to Xbox, so to speak.

There were very few Japanese studios under Sony SIE, but that was always true and nothing changed.

Japan Studio is literally the name of the studio that the OP is referring too.

The Studio behind all those games was in a 'renaissance' because they were releasing a lot of creative (and usually good) games, and now the only team left is the one that made Astrobot.

You kind of missed the point entirely.

Not to mention the 'Japan game hate' occurred prior to when you said it did, and all of those games were in fact the Japanese game developers finally making an impact in the west again.
