RIP to Yakuza and Judgement.

 

Chinese game developers are looking to get serious into the console/PC gaming business and not just mobile apparently.. which is the reason for the poachings

Guy is probably tired of working on Yakuza and Yakuza-like games (Judgement) so he's probably eager to do something different. Im sure there are plenty of talented people on the Yakuza team who will be able to step into his role and keep the series going.
