I think it would be hard to press for a song as a confession, but if someone is already a suspect and/or they have other evidence...

I mean some of the shit people be saying is ridiculous. Like as if dudes won't put 2 and 2 together and realize they might get in trouble for it.

Boondocks even made a parody of it

hit them with the hennessssssssssssssssy

Y'all seen the new TMNT trailer. I hope Michael Bay doesn't do us he like he did in Transformers 2 with the coon bots. I distinctly remember one of those saying to the effect of don't you know we can't read. I'm staying away from that movie until a respectable organization approves it. Til then it's getting the ground zeroes treatment aka fuck your sales on purpose.

Ignoring the Nigga Turtles, I already know Raphael is going to "sound black" since he's the one wearing the oversized du-rag.

ATL Gaf y'all got to the Varsity? Looks like a Gaffer nightmare.

You mean ever? Yeah. The food is delicious and greasy as fuck but the portions are LACKING ASS FUCK. It's for good ol' white people that like to sit there for hours ordering a ton of food. Onion rings are boss tho.

I haven't been to the Varsity since I was like in elementary school.

Soooo.... Naughty Dog threads sure get a rise out of a lot of people.

I do gotta say, although I'm not a fan, I can definitely say it is weird that people are leaving left and right.

 

[Devolution]

Don't know the gaming industry well enough but it could be as simple as other companies poaching talent with much better contracts.

Just realized Shredder is a white guy now too based on the trailers.

People leaving left and right happened at beginning of the PS3 era as well. Just didn't hear about it back then because social media was not big then.

 

[Devolution]

Checked that thread out, lol. Trying so hard to shit on Riot when they pull in tons of dough from LoL.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

The industry is volatile enough that you have to do for self if you get the chance. People make moves to what will be best for them.

 

[GhettoGamer]

Heh I can see it now, he just got done beating down the turtles but for some odd reason he focus on ralph the most and says things like "stay down boy"

That's reasonable, and probably what's going on. I don't think there's something too bad going on since there's no hurt feelings coming out.

But hey, I'm not too familiar with the industry either so I can only wonder. *shrug*

Edit:

@kuma

With this going on, I'm kinda reminded of Inafune and the others that left Capcom. Is that what you're thinking about too?

 

[Devolution]

I think it's such an honour to work at ND... and he leaves to work on Riot Games. Well. If it wasnt for his work on past Uncharted titles, I would say this is one of the most sassy examples of people who just cares about money and not about games.

Cant feel nothing but disappointed, with all those talents flying away from sony.

So much projection and hurt feelings.

Gonna go read that. Should be fun.

It doesn't make sense for it NOT to be that simple.

I can already see a famousmortimer post in the thread. Let me just get my popcorn.

I wish I was a dev then this thread would be 10x more funny given the assumptions therein.

 

[Gorillaz]

I'm glad famous put his "shit happens" post in that thread, because some people obviously don't get the "revolving door" that happens in any industry

edit: esco already said it

Naughty Dog-sama.............

 

[ishibear]

It's getting worse in there lol

I'm sticking around to see some updates, maybe somebody will touch on the subject more extensively.

Jeez, you would think the studio got set ablaze with some of the meltdowns going on. LOL

 

[Devolution]

Naughty Dog-sama.............

Thread needs a "I'm an expert..honor and shame are a huge part of it" riff.

Somes times I feel like I shouldn't be on Gaf, because I can't put that much faith, love, and time into games.

Am I a lesser nerd?

Peeked into that ND thread, and there were people already trying to question mortimer's post.

You mean people taking him seriously instead of just rolling their eyes and passing it over? People love to believe fake insiders.

And it looks like he worked on the "create heroes" project with April's father. So that's (presumably) two white guys...

I wonder if April's dad becomes Splinter.

Offer some kernels of truth and a bit of criticism so you seem more objective but in the end he's just faking being an insider for attention. And people are supplying that attention and validation.

Sorry it didn't work out. You've got the right attitude tho, hopefully something will work out next time.

Spreading all that negativity in these threads. No wonder there's so many ready to throw in the towel. The negative nancies love to play on people's feelings and fears.

Still, some of these reactions are hilarious.

I've been once and they also catered a job site I was at. Nothing to scream about tho.

Gamers are drama whores quite honestly. For whatever reason they want controversy and intrigue instead of the most rational answer: you get a better paying job, more control, better environment or whatever else, most people go for it?

Like with OR what were the people who busted their ass making the thing supposed to do? Turn down billions?

It's the principle of the thing! They're supposed to be making things for ME, not trying to earn money to better themselves!

They suppose to do it because they love games.

 

[EscoBlades]

The people who demanded that they receive a share of the $2 billion because they backed it on Kickstarter were the best. lolnope

 

[ishibear]

People forget these devs are real people with lives and needs. They go for the money and have their own pursuits. When a dev leaves, some people act like they've been personally betrayed and can't accept it, forget moving on - it's rage time!

Lawd lol
