Tidigare i veckan fick vi höra att Naughty Dog’s Amy Henning lämnar studion. Men först nu får vi reda på den riktiga anledningen.
Sonyägda Naughty Dog blev, tidigare i veckan, av med deras spelförfattare Amy Henning. Hennings har tidigare varit med och skapat Uncharted-serien. Det som tidigare sagts om hennes avgång var att hon blev påtvingad uppsägning av Neil Druckmann och Bruce Straley.
Nu går Naughty Dogs Co-presidents, Evan Wells och Christophe Balestra officiellt ut med att det inte är Neil Druckmann och Bruce Straley som påverkat avgången.
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 wouldn’t 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 we’re going back to what we should be focused on – making games.
