Problem is, Druckmann was wildly misquoted by his own employers. A few days after Sony published its interview, Druckmann took to X and said “this is not quite what I said.” He then went full Ellie-in-revenge-mode on Sony, posting a section of the original interview transcript. (He was actually pretty polite if we’re being honest \u2014 even the powerful can only bite the hand that feeds so hard.) Regardless, things here do not add up.<\/p>\n

Gaming reporter Stephen Totilo shared his own comparison of what Druckmann said and what Sony published, bolding the words in Sony’s answer that Druckmann never said \u2014 and those words were the majority of the quote. Sony basically put words in his mouth and published them, kicking off a classic gamer freakout.<\/p>\n

To be fair, if I was Druckmann, I’d be pretty pissed too. Look at this butchery!<\/p>\n

Now, five days later, Sony has removed the interview from its site entirely. However, they didn’t just delete the page \u2014they left it up with an apology to Neil and the Naughty Dog team “for any negative impact this interview might have caused.”<\/p>\n

My favorite bit is easily this:<\/p>\n

So everything he said about animation, writing, technology, AI and future projects had errors. Hey, at least they nailed<\/em> his name and title.<\/p>\n

For the morbidly curious, you can still read the “interview” on archive.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
