What I meant was this:
Back in 2013, Shuhei Yoshida said that Santa Monica was helping with TLG. This seems to have been refuted, but that's not the point I was trying to make.
When I wrote Cerny's Team, I meant "under Cerny's direction", which is most likely not the case anyway but I suppose it's possible.
Since Ico and SotC are mostly atmospheric/artsy type games, I was just thinking that if development was changing hands (which it seems it actually hasn't all along) I would rather, if choosing between 2 evils, it went to someone like That Game Company due to them being able to do artsy/atmospheric games very well.
But, thank you for reading my post
I always feel so invisible on NeoGaf.
