Layoffs at Naughty Dog, Factions “on ice”

[Gizmo_Duck]

And why is this just on Jim?

Its not, Last of Us multiplayer was announced before Jim Ryan even became president

A lot of these multiplayer teams were put together in 2018. Same with the Horizon Multiplayer game, the director was hired in 2018. It falls on Jim Ryan because he announced them but plans were set in motion before then. Same with the PC Roll out

We likely won’t see anything Jim Ryan put into action until the 2nd half of this generation

Uncharted 2 MP was one of the best MP games I ever played. I love shooting games where everything is so simple and just based on how well you can aim and move. I felt the same way about factions too, and the tactical aspect of it.

Yeah I largely prefer more simplistic games where it's mostly about map knowledge and skill with less to do with who can cheese the game with the best loadout. I like COD but I miss the more simplistic nature of arena shooters like Gears, Halo and Uncharted. I need another TPS that's not a battle royale or military shooter.

Yeah the story was trash and had nothing to do with the infected. Just purely revenge. shyt was weird.

Godly gameplay and Graphics though. Seattle was the perfect setting. I'm on my 3rd playthrough. My 4th I might do grounded permadeath

But still that is up to the company if it is not in their contract. At least in the I.T. world, i have not seen contractors getting severance after being let go before the end of their contract.

shyt in IT most contractors don't find out they been let go until they badge dont work the next day.

I've worked at a place where you dont even tell the contractor you tell the contracting agency, you cut off access, and the agency tells the contractor.

A step further the company i work at now they can remote wipe your laptop, they don't even need you to give it back

The only thing your laptop had on it anyway is a vdi or workspace 1 client where you can log into something through vpn to access the tools you need to do your job. They'll just wipe your shyt and let you straight up keep it wasnt nothing on it no way.


Might be how all this internal documentation end up leaking like they do now though

Yeah i seen it myself, luckily never experienced it. I saw it when covid hit and we were supposed to get told on that Friday that we were being sent home to work. The senior manager at some point asked all of the contractors under him to go to a conference room. I knew some people were being let go but EVERY contractor got let off right then and there.

The second time while i was a contractor a guy that was on the same firm as me was fukking up with work and social interactions, so i knew his days were numbered. The manager came up to me and few others and told us that someone from the firm was going to get and escort him out of the premises that day, but he could not be there because of off campus meetings so he needed someone to direct the rep to him. The guy came asking for the contractor but he was not there at that moment. 5 minutes later he comes and i point him out like

He took him in a room, 10 minutes later he is cleaning out his cubicle and was out of there. I have seen more but those were the ones that stuck out in my mind right now.

He’s just following through on plans, plus it’s not like his superiors don’t have a say so in anything, or didn’t sign off on these plans.

Naughty Dog announced they were splitting off the multiplayer in September, there is no way Jim Ryan stepped up to the plate and told ND they had to separate their games after a few months. He wouldn’t even be an authority of something like that
