Naughty Dog co-presidents: Hennig was not 'forced out'
Uncharted creator Amy Hennig was not “forced out” of Naughty Dog, according to co-presidents Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra.
“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,” the pair said in a statement published on theNaughty Dog website.
“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 rumours 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.”
Censorship is dumb. All they should have to do is put warnings about the content that's in the game so people who may be offended by that can avoid it. We shouldn't have to censor things just because a certain group of people don't take kindly to it.
ReplyDeleteHe was a very good CEO; and he is one of the reasons why PS4 is a success. However, I wish him good luck for his future, and I hope that Sony keeps growing strong in 2014.
