Oh, you're playing the popular "it's all just because Sony is going to be bankrupt and doomed etc" card, how surprising. The reason he's giving some explanation is because the media and people like you have been in total panic mode over all these things in the last couple weeks, has that ever occured to you? Like I've said not every bad news about Sony can immediately be attributed to them doing not so peachy financially. Or do you seriously believe that Stig left because he thought "damn I just burned through 4 years and tons of resources and have nothing to show for it, I better get the fuck out of SSM, since this Sony ship is going down"?

So I'd much rather believe the reasons given in the OP, then your "oh they're bailing because Sony will soon be bankrupt"-explanation, cause if that was the case they would've been out of there years ago, since we've been hearing this since 2007 or something, and not now when the PS4 is doing as phenomenal as it is.

They didnt leave years ago, because they hadnt made a name for themselves yet, but i guess they started at the top, according to you. Damage control, keep it up. Its helping!

Yeah, Stig has made a great name for himself after crashing this game. Amy Hennig was totally unknown before this year and Col Rodgers has obviously become a huge name in the game industry since he joined Sony. The only one that we could say made a name for himself is Justin Richmond but he already did that in 2011 when Uncharted 3 shipped, if not even earlier.
