Wonder why so many important people are leaving Naughty Dog? I wouldn't be surprised if this effects the final product.

WTF I WAS JUST TROLLING BUT THIS IS STARTING TO GET REALLY SAD! SONY LETS GET IT TOGETHER. AND GET IT TOGETHER NOW!

I like how people think that because one person left a studio, the games are going to be horrible.

[Ionic]

shit whats going on over there...i kinda wish there would be more details.

[FrankDHproductions]

Disgusting news... Really sickening when you dont know what the hell is happening and so many people are leaving.

[CNX]

That moment you realize that Daemon & Nathan look a like

[danzgaming]

HOLY SHIT EVER FUCKIN DAY SOMEONE KEEPS QUITING. WTF IS HAPPENING TO

I'm not skeptical about Uncharted 4 with the two main headers leaving Naughty Dog. I'm sure it'll be a fun, good looking, well polished but unoriginal. I'm more skeptical about Sony's future on a whole. Considering I've just brought a Ps4, news headlines of major triple a devs having layoffs isn't actually reassuring. The fact you're "more for the gamer" now, I'd expect you wouldn't keep us in the dark about stuff like this. We've all invested a substantial amount of money into your hardware, trusting that'll you'll provide us with a wide range of new and interesting triple A and Indie games. So far you haven't done that! Infamous Second Son and Killzone Shadow Fall are fun games and all, but just improving the graphics isn't Next Gen. Sure its part of it, but we should be seeing new gameplay and story concepts not just old re-hashed ones.

WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON!?!?! O_o
is this like a popular trend in the gaming industry?!

[hsana]

looks like justin richmond GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR THAT GREATNESS

[wiilover]

Honestly I think the entire industry is going through rough times. It's not just Nintendo, sony or MS. It's everyone.

[BloodyMooreJay]

*Another* PlayStation developer goes.. *This trend is getting silly now!*

[rozh]

i have a feeling that there won't be any new uncharted games

[LilChikyChan]

lmao there's gonna be no one left at Naughty Dog
but yeah while it's funny it's also worrying for the people expecting a good game from a company losing so many staff members so quickly

[crashpal]

it's just a few guys leaving, Naughty 
Dog itself isn't breaking apart. Get a grip people. These guy ain't goin down that easily.

[dictatejr]

The funny thing is 'I will go down with this ship' if something happens to playstation I would never buy an eggbox it would have to be PC sorry but VCRs just don't cut it in 2014

[mani]

He wasn't asked to leave, he left by his on own will for a developer i never heard about.

[ayrthonperez]

Not surprising. Its sad how they gloate over selling 6million ps4s yet they can barely support it.

[mistaflake]

Won't be missed. And Riot innovative? Really? 

[Duranwassup]

Here is to all my gaming folks. I think we should start buying digital games for the PS4 or XBOX ONE to support our favorite developers. I just bought Second Son digitally on the PSN store. We can make a difference as real gamers.
