Didn't Ueda quit gaming or something?
He left Sony but shad a contract as creative director or something.
Superannuation said he had the same agents as zampella/west (respawn), housers (rockstar), ken Levine (bioshock) Patrice desilets (ac) etc when signing his contract and it's possible the ip rights would refer to him if the game got cancelled and Sony don't like not owning IPs. I would guess if it's true that might be the only reason it still exists after all this time
