Why else would Nathan Drake bail on his own franchise?

Fortune-hunting industry hit hard by recession, apparently

What Nathan Drake possesses in charm and acrobatic adroitness, he seriously lacks in luck. Much like that fedora-capped, state-named adventurer, he never seems to end one of his adventures with the loot he set out to obtain, leaving his cash-flow as non-existent as his reservations over killing thousands of pirates and mercenaries. Therefore, we're not surprised to see he's been branching out, and is now putting his keen analytical mind to work as a detective in Big Fish Games' PC puzzle-solving title, The Broken Clues.

Of course, the preceding paragraph only makes sense in a world where video game characters are sentient beings, capable of performing activities outside of the scope designated for them by a hard-working team of programmers and designers. In reality, it seems that Drake's likeness was straight-up yoinked by Big Fish, in a brazen display of copyright infringement that's reminiscent of Limbo of the Lost, only without the added bonus of being unintentionally hilarious.

Epic LOL.

Your mom flopped.

OT: Well, after wasting two weeks searching for El Dorado, Sully killed a bunch of pirates and stole their illegally obtained gold, so there was some profit there. And in Uncharted 2, Drake earned something more important than money: strength of character and everlasting friendships. And I'm sure there was a threesome in there somewhere.

Also, the 162 treasures he found would probably have made him extremely rich.

Haha rofl

You Sony fanboys really are the worst. Somebody presents you with incontrovertible evidence that yet another first party game didn't sell for shit, and you come in here and try to controvert that evidence anyway!

Can't you see my badge(nome)s? I'm a PC fanboy!

Blizzard rocks!

Gabe Newell is a legend!

Boycott IW!

Or something.

He is indeed, and my super secret insider source tells me he has signed on to play Doughnut Drake in Uncharted 3: A Fistful of Carbs.

=O

He can't be in Half Tuck Racing, though, the cars would throw up.
