Naughty Dog released a generation defining game just over 2 years ago, and they haven’t put out a dud in almost the entirety of their studio history of 4 decades, why would anyone ever have a reason to doubt them?

They are one of the best developers in the industry
So where’s Factions at again?? :ohhh:

Xbox stans really think they got a case with this one :laff:

I can point to like 8 different microsoft game studios that got games in development hell and staff leaving. shyt, their last game, HALO already had most of their senior staff leave.

The point you’re missing is this is common for Microsoft, a platform that has yet to have a consistent output of quality games. When playstation games start underperforming critically and commercially you may have a case. I still can’t think of any sony people leaving and creating big successful studios, not like Bungie or Epic

Sony fosters great talent, and a lot of those times (like some of the people you’ve posted like Shaun Escayg and Drew Murray) they come back.
1. I'm not a Xbox stan
2. Losing 70% of your senior design team is pretty concerning :francis:
