Apparently Naughty Dog has been bleeding talent for a while now, with people applying for other studios.

Maybe this will lead to if she works for a company that wants to make more than cover shooters with her talents.

I wonder if the SJWs will cry sexist at this like they did when Hepler was forced out by twitter comments.

So she worked on Uncharted but not The Last of Us?

Sad to hear this. She is a nice lady, always liked her on the videos, and she is a good writer on gaming level.

Just realized there is no "we wish Hennig best of luck in future endeavors" type stuff. Isn't that always on the PR lines when someone quits on neutral/good terms?

Usually. But this probably was not a amiable divorce.

Maybe she realized she's made nothing but shit games lately.

Hennig was one of the few women in the game industry that had actual talent.

Well, fuck Sony anyway.

LoK is fun enough in a terrible convoluted way.

That's my point. It's evidence to such a conclusion.

She's a terrible writer. Of course, that means she's still better than the vast majority of video game writers.

Official PR line from ND. Reading between the lines a bit and AH's silence says a lot.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Makes it seem like it was Hennig's fuck-up. Something personal probably, like having sex with the boss or something like that.
