Jason Schreier: Reddit post about Naughty Dog 100s of furloughed employees fake (leaker might not be employee)
- Thread starter brokenswiftie

Contractor? There's loads used, especially in terms of localisation or QA.
Edit: Hot damn if it was a family member, though. That is even more fucked up.
My money is still on localisation contractors, though.

people want the leaker to be an employee lashing out at Naughty Dog so badly
how often is that the case? it seems like people who leak tend to have the least investment in the games themselves

Previous discussion on the TLOU leaks (which included calling Jason Schreier a hypocrite):

Jason was not the original source for the speculation that the leak was due to a disgruntled employee, but the explicit lack of a denial (until now) was viewed as implicit acceptance.
Really hope the story on how this happened comes to light a bit. If it's not a employee it's even more crazy to think of what happened.
If the Reddit post is true , its a silly business decision from sony.
Its not like the TLOU2 is not going to sell millions.

I am not either. There are some real miserable people out there.
Just read it and yeah, the story is quite obvious a load of shit from a ND hater.
Wasn't that person trying to hold the code to ransom or am I thinking of something else?
Hence the "if"
I dont take jasons word as gospel.
But i do agree the reddit post seems unlikely, because i dont think it makes much sense. I think if devs wanted there bonus early sony would give it them. Whats it going to be $20 million? Thats less then a rounding error for sony, and they will know TLOU2 will make over 20x that.
However I dont trust the Reddit source more then jason.
I think jason is right about the reddit post being not true.
However I dont know if jason is right about it not being a ND employee.

That has the amd code, this one was one that some MS fans showed on twitter.
I definitely think it's weird but am not surprised either. Haters gonna hate. I love ND and hope they keep making great games.
Yeah that was wierd lol. I guess it fit with the current narrative at the time but cmon its an unsourced reddit post.
The unverified rumour tweet that was regurgitated by so many as if it were a fact, is yet another indictment of our news culture these days. Any old unverified tweet or post can become news, and doubly so when tonnes of people with pre-determined agendas latch on to it.
I think this is exasperated by the fact that TLOU2 is not only exclusive, but also features LGBTQ characters, the latter especially appears to have capital G gamers and alt-righters in unified anger, and thus these sorts false propaganda campaigns become more prevalent and organised.
I'm surprised people in the other thread were even allowed to go on as if that narrative were a verified fact, and not just an unfounded rumour.
The first line of this thread and Jasons tweet.

Jason's word isn't gospel but he is on the money a lot and has plenty of reliable sources.
I mean like...of course it fit with the current narrative lol
It's weird people wanting Last of Us to fail. Actually no, makes a ton of sense. It's a game that doesn't fit the gamergate template.
I've noticed a lot of its like... Gamergaters or Japanese "fanbois"(the kind that hate all western devs no matter how good the game is).
the moment jason switches jobs and takes time to be a family man, the games industry tries to drag him back in
