>Troy Baker, the voice actor for Joel in The Last of Us series, later confirmed that the game was super polarising and it could not be thoroughly enjoyed with a closed mind.
>“I want people to go in open-minded to this story, and allow Joel and Ellie to tell their story — not the story that people think that they want to be told… If people go in open-minded to this thing, I think they will have a completely different experience than if they go in close-minded,” Troy Baker told Fandom.
>People took the leak with a grain of salt since, at that point, it was nothing more than hearsay. However, the recent The Last of Us Part 2 gameplay leak has pretty much confirmed some the original source’s claims which now makes us believe the The Last of Us Part 2 plot leak was, in fact, legitimate.
>An anonymous source linked to Nauhgty Dog Inc. reached out to us with the following message regarding The Last of Us 2 gameplay footage leak:
“>I don’t doubt, even for a moment, that this leak came from the studio. The Last of Us Part 2 is very divisive and, as you can imagine, some of the team aren’t really thrilled to be working on the game.”
>The source goes on to talk about how stale the work environment has been at Naughty Dog and how so many people have had to bite their tongues because ‘cancel culture’ is very much alive inside of the studio.
>“Many people would agree with me that this has been one of the worst projects they’ve ever had to work on, and that’s not just because some people disagree with the plot. Even though some of the team members are Christians and don’t necessarily agree with the game’s ‘message’, they are also professionals and can put their personal politics aside to get the job done. What really sucks about all of this is the working environment.”
>“The team is very much divided on the game, and even voicing your concerns on its story will upset certain individuals; it usually results in said person being called closed-minded or even phobic, or some such nonsense. Some people literally have to bite their tongues or fear losing their jobs, even careers, to an outrage mob.”
>Our source also alleged that the high turnover in staff is because of the reasons mentioned above. “What’s really sad is that nobody is allowed to talk about any of this. Many employees have left Naughty Dog because in-house politics and they are under a strict NDA and absolutely cannot discuss the studio’s ‘productions practices’ secrets. Oops!”
>Naughty Dog Inc., has a turnover rate of 70% which skyrocketed around the time The Last of Us Part II went into production. Our source’s claims have been corroborated by a former Naughty Dog animator, Jonathon Cooper, who left them in early October last year.
>Jonathon Cooper alleged that Neil Druckmann would force employees to sign a very strict NDA upon leaving Naughty Dog or he’d withhold their final paycheck.
Jason Garcia
Of course.
Joshua Perry
>A source added: “It was primarily the senior team that left Naughty Dog and to assume that it’s because of ‘long working hours’ is laughable. Anybody that has ever worked in game development knows that this is crock of shit. Since I can remember, development has always been like this; get to work, chug coffee and don’t leave until you’ve completed the task that you’ve been assigned for the day. It’s a part of the fun. It’s a part of the lifestyle. What’s not fun is working in a toxic environment.”
>The Last of Us Part II villains are allegedly homophobic Christians, so it is understandable that it would be very difficult for a Christian to work on the game.

Can't leak something that doesn't exist.

Ahh, the damage control begins.
Despite literally every source claiming it to be a pay and workers conditions dispute, this canny author has decided one can simply completely fabricate an alternative reason instead. Journalism is magical.

This is so stupid, imagine if Breath of the Wild had this kind of nonsense in its dev cycle?
Austin Brown
people who actually believe this are just as stupid as people who believe that one can magically change his/her gender. ND is 100% full of sjws because sjws eliminate all wrong thinkers
I don't get it, are Christians or trannies evil in this game?
Xavier Allen
the gameplay is clicking play on the movie

I’m honestly just shocked that the author of the article said they hate the “divisiveness” and not the “inclusiveness”
Except the title of the article, nothing indicates that the dev had problems with its "divisiveness". Rather the exact opposite. Some people don't like the story (for obvious resons) and some rather "toxic" people at Naughty Dog try to blame it on being a LGBTQ phobic piece of shit. Or in other words, the LGBTQ supporters are the bad guys here.

The one animator that's not under NDA said that the studio said he would not get paid unless they signed the NDA but they gave it to him after he threatened to sue

Good goy, can't have our woke company spreading our woke messages come under fire, even if it means denying those workers their rights that we once held so dear.
Title: "The Last of Us 2 gameplay leak came from dev that hates its divisiveness" Actual quote: "I don’t doubt, even for a moment, that this leak came from the studio. The Last of Us Part 2 is very divisive and, as you can imagine, some of the team aren’t really thrilled to be working on the game."
So it's an assumption.

Business as usual, ignore the actual reason, construct an imaginary reason or enemy and simply claim everyone disagreeing with you is part of the EVIL side responsible for it.

Friendly reminder that he backstabbed the original voice cast of Silent Hill 2, but cried foul when similar issues were facing him and his own.
