Speaking with actor Troy Baker, who plays Joel in the game, Druckmann stated he originally wished to send out thank-you texts to every developer, one by one. The groups sheer size made that impossible. Instead, he decided to send out a message on a bigger scale.

I recognize I cant text everybody on the team– theres just too numerous individuals on the team. I just have to compose the entire group an e-mail, and Im not very excellent at that things.”

He also informed his group that hes never ever been prouder of any video game hes dealt with.
He also had a message for the haters.

” The reviews were amazing, and its great to hear people like the game and how much it resonates with them, but absolutely nothing comes close to hearing you, or Laura, or John, or any member of the group that has actually sent me an email considering that the video game has actually come out to say this is the finest game Ive ever dealt with. F ** k the haters. Nothing makes me prouder that Ive worked on in my life than this game.”.
In the interview, Druckmann spoke about how he does not focus too much on sales. He just hopes his games can make enough cash to persuade Sony to allow Naughty Dog to keep doing what it does.
“The video game is offering well, and I do not care. Sony will keep trusting us and giving us the creative liberty to do whatever we require to do.
