Like many of you, we here at Push Square Towers are deeply saddened by the end of one of the best satirical Twitter accounts, @KazHiraiCEO. Posing as the then-CEO of Sony, the account would post hilarious, witty, and at times biting commentary about the games industry, and it'll be sorely missed. It remained highly topical and consistently funny right to the end, covering major gaming events like E3 as well as relevant news through the years, such as the Great PSN Outage of 2011. To commemorate the loss of one of Twitter's true triumphs, here's a selection of some of our favourite tweets.
And there you have it: our pick of fake Kaz's finest. Will you miss @KazHiraiCEO in your Twitter feed? Share some of your favourites in the comments below.

He'll be missed.
Oh he’s retiring?
His tweets are gold lol
Some great tweets!!!
I quite like this amusing tweet from before the Sony E3 conference. It pretty much happened as well, except with the wrong game.

"In tonight’s conference we have scheduled a ten minute break after the Death Stranding demo, so that everyone can sit in stupefied silence"
That's sad. I loved his tweets.
Haha that last Fortnite one is brilliant
I’m not one to use social media but if I did I’d of “followed” his tweets, they are funny. Out of that list of tweets I’d pick Kojima leaving Konami and the E3 Battle Royale as the best of the lot 😄
@MaccaMUFC We had to cut out about half of the original selection to keep the article from being too long, but there are dozens of great tweets from this account.
@crimsontadpoles
That was brilliant looking back on it after Sony's conference.
He will be missed indeed. He was the only reason I ever visited Twitter.
i know i shouldn't laugh since many dedicated people worked on lawbreakers, but the cliffy b one had me in stitches...
since i don't use twitter, i've glanced through some recent tweets, and liked this one: Our goal this year was to show that we care so much about games that we spend all of our time making them and none of our time organising press conferences.
"I'd buy you a card, but they are still too expensive"
Brilliant stuff.
Death Stranding looks like it is about an isolated man trying to deliver something without any support. It must be based Kojima’s time at Konami
😂He always put a smile on me, but nothing last forever and he will be remembered
@Quintumply Maybe do a second part to the article.
These are hilarious! Almost as funny as the Push Square comments sections.
The man behind this tweeter account is awesome. His humour & satire is always right on point.
