Can you not tell the differnce between people leaving and notable figures at WWS leaving different studios one after another?Out of the 100s/1000s of employees at WWS we've had....a handful leave?
Yeah. Other companies have taken notice of their success and have begun to poach Naughty Dog's talent. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Do you have any idea how much money Riot pulls in every year? You should check that out. Way WAY more than Naughty Dog.
The Last of Us
Well this is just getting really weird.
And for Riot Games of all places as well...
Seriously, WTF?
Was Uncharted 4 that bad?
If anything I see this as a good thing. Bring in new people with new ideas, Uncharted 3 was significantly worse than 2 IMO
What do you mean by that? UC2 multiplayer was absolutely fantastic, did they do something post-launch?
got me. lmaoNone of Us Left coming to a bargain bin near you.
What?How is it weird? You already know the answer. Sony's having trouble keeping their first party studios.

Someone leaving a large corporate studio that make bloated triple a games for a small company?
Not surprising at all.
Isn't Uncharted slated for this Fall? Seems a little late to be hiring new blood now.
Addition by subtraction...
The dream team is still there.
This is getting a little ridiculous, no?
Uncharted 2 1.04 Never Forget
The last patch before Justin Richmond ruined a good thing due to complete and utter dumbassery.

ND has the backing of Sony. You honestly think ND, and hence Sony, would let their major lead walk out over a salary bump? Really?

This. Riot have a lot of money, and 1 game. Can you guess what they're doing?Riot Games is the most prominent/stable studio in the LA area. Riot is going to suck up most LA game dev talent.

Yeah. Patch 1.05 was the death of Uncharted 2 multiplayer.Uncharted 2 1.04 Never Forget
The Justin Richmond Ruined Our Fun
uhhh yes? Do you have any clue how the real world works? Regardless if Sony tried to match (they probably wouldn't, times are tough w/ Sony's bottom line) he could leave for other reasons all-together
Eh, Justin Richmond is not such a talent that is worth going to extraordinary lengths to keep around.
