Naughty Dog just isn’t the same company that it was back in the day. Both Crash and Jak & Daxter ranked among my childhood favorites and are some of the best platformers of all time. They could give Nintendo a run for their money. I never played Uncharted or the Last of Us, but I was still really glad for them because they seemed to be going places.
If anything I kinda feel sorry for any employees still stuck there (the guy who leaked TLOUII is a hero): The old team that made it awesome have all left now, while Neil Druckmann has gone insane and seems to have turned the whole company into his personal whipping boy, all he because he swallowed Anita’s ideology wholesale. We were told she wasn’t coming for our video games, yet she brought down one of the coolest developers to its knees.
Amy Hennig deserved better.
