Naughty Dog President Neil Druckmann responded to the backlash against the company’s upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.This Substack is reader-supported.
As an aside Colin Moriarty having this clown on and calling him a "legendary designer" is a reminder that he's still a creature of the mainstream games journo media. Never forget that he was the origin of the "entitled gamers" meme.
This is his PR response. We know how he deals with criticism - antagonise and try to ban channels. There's only one way to deal with a propagandist like him - vote with your wallet. With enough losses Sony will have to fire him.
This time Druckmann doesn’t have a successful franchise with built-in fan goodwill to desecrate. This is his freestyle middle-finger to gamers and we're about to find out if a new game designed with a 2020 npc mentality has any legs. My money and hopes are on no.
Please do nothing to discourage Druckman. We need for him to double and triple down so his sorry woke ass is ejected from gaming as quickly as possible.

He can ignore the critics (us gamers) while we will ignore his game, just because "he is exited " doesn't mean the rest of the world are.
