See, this is what I'm talking about.
If your position was this malleable, why would you ever vow not to buy an entire studio's games based on one article on the internet?
Can we all please grow up, be reasonable, and stop talking and acting in definites?
The whole industry needs to grow up. This kind of stuff is business as usual across many other industries.
Disagreements between employees happen. Reporters getting bad information happens. Reporters getting good information that companies don't necessarily want getting out...also happens.
We can only deal with what we know to be fact and draw our own conclusions from that. When you have two extremes like this, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. I'm not going to speculate because this thread alone shows the type of outlandish conclusions you can come to.
All we know for sure is Hennig is gone and not because she wanted to be. Maybe "forced out" isn't the politically correct way of saying, but it's essentially the same thing as being fired or asked to leave. The reasons for that firing make all the difference in terms of how we would view the situation; unfortunately, it's not something we as consumers have any "right" to know. We'd all love to know, no doubt...but we shouldn't. And we likely never will. Naughty Dog made a decision to move on and she's gone. If you like them both, it freaking sucks. But there's nothing stopping you from supporting both parties in the future.
Edit: And make no mistake, this isn't the end of this. Naughty Dog has called IGN out by explicitly referring to their report as "unprofessionally misreported." Dyer and IGN's name is now on the line. As much as folks like to hate on IGN, they're the biggest video game site on the net and they know how closely folks are watching this story. I would expect them to do one of two things: 1) Double-down on their original story and further explain/solidify what they meant and how sure they are of their source OR 2) Issue an apology to Naughty Dog, Straley and Druckmann.
