I think people will someday realise that 1 person does not make a team.
The Demon Souls and Dark Souls director was on involved in Dark Souls 2
The lead game designer of Uncharted: DF was on involved in Uncharted 2.
All GoW games.

He does it by simply ignoring their existence.
"Hey Neil. Neil? Oh God, no. NEIL! NEIL! You can't do this to me. Neil, I have a family. N... security, I still work here. Get off me, what're you doing, I still work here! Druckmann! Druckmann, call them off. I was loyal! No, you can't. Neil! NEIL!"

Wait and see is better than coming to rash conclusions in my book and just because people think that this isn't something to be concerned about doesn't mean it's "fanboy BS" as you put it. .

I hope so, but I doubt it.

I think Sony's World Wide Studios knows what to do and maybe, just maybe they are trying to optimize all the studios.

Where are all these people going? Found other jobs?

Agreed.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kaz sells the gaming department to Google. Actually that might explain the mass exodus.
They all get hired by Facebook!
He was never with Naughty Dog the whole time.

Nintendo using its warchest, bwahahaha! You just wait!
No, really what is going on? Could someone be stealing talent, maybe Amazon? don´t think so but it is cool to have crazy theories.

Time to rehire Jason Rubin and make Jak 4!
Makes me sad this won't happen.
Jak is done, he's coming in to change Uncharted 4 to a kart racer, to fit in with traditions. Going to be AWESOME, even if everyone will ride as Sully online.

Sony already made a big cleanup of Japan studios. Now they switched to the west, which is a home to much more studios and some creatives probably left so that they could form their own standalone projects.

Maybe Riot Games has something else interesting going on. They've only put out one game ever (which just happens to be very, very successful), and maybe they want to try something new and Richmond wants to be apart of it.
But nah, it's probably because Sony is dead.

They don't have to get super specific about it. Just typical PR. They could simply say:
Santa Monica wasn't progressing their project the way we hoped.
Driveclub needed reworked.
Naughty Dog needed a change of direction and we wish Amy & Justin the best. The depatures were amicable but I can't really say anything more than that. I'm sure they are doing well.
Maybe intro that with a few sentences about quality standards and wanting what is best for gamers, blah blah blah. In this industry, many things happen for different reasons and rest assured internet conspiracy theories will always be silly. Laugh once. Then finish up with we're happy with how that is turning out for us already. Reconfiguring, etc.No downsizing. We don't retreat. In it for the long haul. Take a crack at all the "doomed" stuff on the net. The payoff is already there. Yada, yada, yada.
Then promise some more screens and development updates that will take peoples minds off their imagined fears. Show them the product is fine.
More or less what they did the other day discussing Driveclub but only more of it and from someone noticeable. I don't think it would take much more than that to keep people from getting excitable like they are now.
The last of them.

The PS4 is only $400 because all of the materials they used are radioactive. So the people leaving couldn't possibly work with a company that will be giving their consumers cancer.
That's the best plot twist I could come up with.

In these situations, a company never reveals what's happening behind the scenes, nor should they be forced to.
Having said that, the nature of this industry honestly makes me feel that Sony would be better off if some whistleblower actually reveals what's been happening with all of this "restructuring".
The longer the silence holds, the more conspiracies get made. The press will then eat this up, especially to offset to the positive vibes Sony has been generating with the PS4.

Naughty Dog is owned by Sony, that makes them first party. Second party is basically an independent studio making exclusives for a console maker.
.....ooooo
It's not coming out for a while.

Something bad is happening over at the Sony studios.
Reminds me of the mass exodus at Epic. Budget cuts?

He's actually the bandaged man in Metal Gear Solid V and is in Diamond Dogs with Big Boss.

Jin, you've cracked the code. Better go into hiding before the Google ninjas show up to silence you.
