Go on, i'll wait.

All this "she will be missed" bullshit is crazy, I'm willing to bet 95% of the people commenting on this news didn't have the foggiest clue who she actually was before the story broke, now you got people talking smack like they have followed her life works.

these and more. Several people who are on or used to visit this site have even met her. Hatmoza had a pic with her years ago at an E3. She's the one who anounced that everyone who attended a uncharted 2 event in San Francisco would get the game for free. Plus the times mentioned above.

posting links to off handed comments and "icon battles" is hardly "discussing her work" is it.

you're right my post pointing to the links, isn't discussing her work, but it is showing you posts that are very much discussing her work her achiments and her.

I showed you that people on this site have known who she is for years and are familiar with her work. So people can genuinely say they will miss her work. So do with that what you will. Call it bullshit, say the discussion now isn't up to some standard, act like people are making it up and be cynical, I don't really care. I pesonally will miss the work she did at naughty dog and I know others will as well, regardless of your opinion.

would you say that the number of users discussing or mentioning her specifically, compared to the number of users, is around 5%? if so why are you even bothering?

I'd say that far more that 5% of the people commenting "on this news" did "have the foggiest clue who she actually was before the story broke"

and I showed you more than a "single discussion" where she or her work was mentioned or brought up far prior to her leaving.

remember there are a lot of sony/playsation/uncharted fans on this site some who actually pay attention to those who are involved in making the games.

Just because you don't know her doesn't mean nobody knows about her. I mean playing any of the previous Uncharted games alone gives you an idea of her involvement with the projects, let alone being the fans of the Legacy of Kain or Soul Reaver series.

Maybe 95% of gamers, sony fans or even uncharted owners don't know her.

But I know for certain that since uc2 I have saw at least 3 articles specificly about her on here or through N4G portal in here.

She may not be as well know or spoltlight lover as Gabe, Carmack, Molineux, Zamparela or Cage but she is know and respected by quite a few people here. If UC and tLoU is story driven a lot of the motive is her.
