Hmmm....
Except you didn't "set the record straight" because there was no account of what actually happened.
There's fucking PLENTY left to say on the subject, Naughty Dog just doesn't want to embarrass themselves by telling us the truth of the matter.
This is some "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" bullshit.
Neil and Bruce had nothing to do with it. That's the only part of the entire story that was even in contention because any other aspect of it is simply an employee and employer terminating their relationship.
So I have three questions;
1) The presidents message doesn't say that she wasn't pushed out, specifically, it just says that Straley and Druckmann weren't involved. Does that mean someone else pushed her out, or was that part of the IGN post wrong, too?
2)And if she wasn't pushed out, at least on some level, why only deny that Straley & Druckmann weren't involved in what 'transpired'?
3) Will, as the IGN article said, Straley & Druckmann (or one of them) be taking over Uncharted 4?
1. "Pushed out" is just a term that the source was using to insinuate that someone who doesn't have authority directly over Hennig, applied some kind of pressure to have her fired. The statement from ND's Co-Presidents means she wasn't pushed out at all. Whatever happened was between Hennig and her Boss (or Bosses depending on how structure is at ND).
2. Because Bruce and Neil were the only ones taking a direct hit to their reputation. Saying their names made it appear that they were doing some underhanded stuff behind the scenes. None of that is true and ND wanted to make sure that that stopped.
3. Won't know until ND makes a statement about that. Whether they do or don't though, there will always be a stigma around them thanks to "sources" which usually amounts to office rumors.
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.
You're clearly upset and I have no idea what about. The part of the story about Neil and Bruce was the only drama. Outside of that, it's simply an Employer and Employee relationship ending. Maybe it was salary related, maybe it was title related, maybe it was creative issues, etc... However, barring Hennig coming out and saying something was offensively wrong.. there's nothing to be incensed about.
