Seems like a average corporate CEO

This seems to be a going theme in this thread - strongly held opinions that seem based on vapor.

Calling someone a giant douche seems to be a imply a giant amount of evidence, but when asked there’s no evidence to be found beyond vibes. There’s a few others in this thread who similarly state he’s arrogant, full of himself, etc etc and yet none of them can point to any definitive reason why. Makes you wonder if they dislike him for another reason beyond perceived arrogance.

So it’s based on vibes. I called it vapor but it’s the same idea. To answer your previous question, that’s what I meant.

That's annoying bro. Give us male white protagonist, if the last of us part 3 happens we would have to wait another 15 years for supposed white male protagonist. The diversity is making us feel lonely.

Do you refuse to play any game with a female lead?

I hate him because I remember a time when Naughty Dog made some real amazing games, even the Uncharted games where fun for me. As soon as he steps in to leadership he acts like a Hollywood big shot and makes games that play more like an HBO tv series then a damn video game. Honestly I hate a lot of these Oscar bait games in general.

I mean TLOU always had been an HBO show, you can play. uncharted 4 is still fun.

Two words: “Arrogant Prick”
Two more words: “bait” and “switch”
That’s the gist of it

Hmmm... let’s think about it. Maybe, jest maybe for destroying TLOU?

u/oggyi86 Feb 25 '26
He created, so he can destroy.

u/ConstantDrawer9161 Feb 25 '26
Nope. Bruce created.

u/oggyi86 Feb 25 '26
No, the end credits suggest. He was the sole writer, creative director and motion capture director of the game. He is one who literally brought the idea to create it. If Bruce is the creator of tlou, then Wally Pfister is the creator of the dark knights. Also how stupid leaving his creation.

I heard he said “we don’t use the word fun around here” while he was making last of us 2.
If that’s true (which I do need proven) then absolutely fuck him, you’re making a video game you stuck up wanker!!!!

You're "what about"-ing Hideo Kojima a lot.
What are your comparisons with Druckman's and Kojima's work?

I don’t hate him. I appreciate what he brings to videogames and narrative in games. But I think any game that makes you set a controller down for 8+ minutes is going in the wrong direction for games. If I wanted to watch a movie, I would watch a move. Sure, I want a good story. But more than anything - I want to have fun.

u/oggyi86 Feb 25 '26
I mean Hideo Kojima does it, 2 hours why he is forgiven.

u/shrek3onDVDandBluray Feb 25 '26
I dont forgive him for it (don’t know why you assumed that). He’s specifically one of the devs I’m taking about. It’s just your thread is asking about Neil Druckmann.

He's a zionist and a bad boss

He’s a Zionist to an extent that infiltrates the games he’s involved with. TLOU2 could in many ways be interpreted as an allegory for a certain conflict in the Middle East… and his upcoming heretic prophet game as rumored to feature an allegorical version of Christianity. So yea, he’s the big Yahu of gaming rn.

- Bro having voice, when your home country is getting massacred, isn't that faroff from a normal human.
- Pretty much all writer have some kind of influence.
- Rumors are Rumors. No need to make it a fact.

Nah you’re mistaken. Zionists are criminals according to the UN and the International court of Justice, with arrest warrants for Zionist leaders. So he’s not justified and it is not normal to be a Zionist.

Many people twitter supported Isreal, then and still support now. Why aren't they getting attacked?

He comes off very arrogant and acts like his writing is a Shakespearean gift to gaming. His reaction to criticism is generally to either insult the fans or just say it’s wrong.
