Good on them for calling out IGN/Greg Miller on the unprofessional phrasing and backing up their dudes. Would still like to hear from Amy though
Those trashing IGN for posting it... Please don't let me find you discussing and revelling in GAF's own insider threads in your posting history, because I hope you realise it's all the same information.
People hear things, and repeat. It's not always 100%.

Nah not over 1 guy.Can we ban IGN now?
Good point. That will probably tell us all we need to know...once we find out the answer.3) Will, as the IGN article said, Straley & Druckmann (or one of them) be taking over Uncharted 4?
YepSomeone should post a new thread about this. I think they deserve to have their names cleared by awful reporting from IGN.
A GAF insider saying they heard something is a bit different to a professional website posting such things IMO
It's a shame they couldn't go into any details on the matter because their post really told us nothing. I know it would be dumb on their part to actually say what happened within the studio, but being all vague about it doesn't really help matters.
It's pretty obvious SOMETHING went down. Believing IGN's account or not is irrelevant at this point. Nothing has been "cleared up", you can't replace false information with a VOID, shit doesn't work like that. All this statement does is raise even more questions than the validity of IGN's statement.So you're going to believe a random rumor from IGN over the co-presidents of Naughty Dog. Nice job. For all we know Hennig went apeshit over not getting a raise or something.
*incredibly vague statement*
Yep that's all we need to know. Nothing else needed to look into there.
What I get from this is pushed out + Hennig agreed to stay quiet to get a hefty severance package.
Until we hear from Hennig herself that is really the only possibility. Amicable splits don't end in silence from a high profile party.
We still have no clue what happened. It's a rumor, they never stated it as fact.
However, we feel it necessary to clear up a very important point that was unprofessionally misreported when the story broke.
I didnt say they did?
ND site is hammered. Wish OP pasted the whole thing.
Earlier this week we had to confirm the regrettable news that Amy Hennig has left Naughty Dog. She will be missed and as we stated before we appreciate the significant contributions that she has made to Naughty Dog and the industry in general. We wish her the best.
However, we feel it necessary to clear up a very important point that was unprofessionally misreported when the story broke. Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann were NOT involved in what transpired. It was very upsetting to us that dozens of stories were run, linking back to the same hurtful accusations in the original report. As co-presidents of Naughty Dog, we are responsible for all studio affairs.
Normally, we wouldnt respond to rumors and speculation on matters that are internal to Naughty Dog, but because the personal reputation of two of our employees is being damaged we needed to set the record straight. There is nothing left to be said on this subject. Now were going back to focusing on what we should making games.
See, the question I have is what makes it our business what happened? This whole situation is pretty strange to me that people feel that Naughty Dog (or any developer) owes them an explanation as to why someone from their staff was let go.
At the end of the day it's clear that they felt she was not the right fit for the studio anymore, Naughty Dog has never given me any reason to believe what they say to be bullshit.
Here you go:

Although it's IGN. They only care about clicks so they probably won't say a thing...
Rumors are rumors, no matter what the website.
The fact that they won't tell us anything further apart from "things change", insist on dropping the whole affair to get back to making games, say they're setting the record straight to protect their employees (and not Hennig), and having nothing nice to say about Hennig, and having not heard a message from Hennig herself, pretty much seals the deal that this wasn't an amicable departure.

That happens in the real world sometimes. People get fired because someone else fits the role better, then those people move on and find new work. It's not always going to be fun for either side, but it happens. I guess I am not seeing the big deal here or maybe I didn't know this writer was so revered. Uncharted was always fun, but the stories were never anything special in my opinion.Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann were not involved but we liked them better, soooooo...
Okay IGN needs to fucking come clean and we need to get them to do this. People were out for blood with that news. What a terrible site IGN is.
Companies don't comment on people leaving beyond confirming they no longer work there.It's pretty obvious SOMETHING went down. Believing IGN's account or not is irrelevant at this point. Nothing has been "cleared up", you can't replace false information with a VOID, shit doesn't work like that. All this statement does is raise even more questions than the validity of IGN's statement.

Right... Again, i never said differently. But a guy on GAF saying "I heard this was because of something Druckman and Straley did" is a bit different to it being posted on IGN in my opinion. Such a detail should be ommitted until they have more information and can report it (even as a rumour) and be confident it's real.
Otherwise it's putting peoples reputation into disrepute.
If i was a professional journo and posted something now saying "Rumour: Greg Miller takes bribes for 10/10s" that wouldn't be okay just because i called it a rumour.
So Bruce and Neil aren't on UC4?
Hell yeah.
If they have solid confirmation then it's not a rumor anymore.
There's also a difference between making shit up and hearing from second-hand sources how something might have gone down.
So we complain when IGN are shills, but also complain when they report on something that doesn't suck the dick of a publisher / developer?
Ugh... You must be really naive over how big businesses handle these situations.
There is no reason to believe IGN 100% but there is almost zero reason to believe anything coming out of Sony's camp. If Hennig is not talking, that means she was contractually obligated not to, which is not a good sign.
Someone should post a new thread about this. I think they deserve to have their names cleared by awful reporting from IGN.
