“I’ve made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO..."

CYA speak for "HBO fired me for my incompetence." This guy was doing everything he could to jump from games to work full time in Hollywood. There is no way in hell he would ever choose to walk that back. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when this all went down.

Druckman is losing his fucking mind over this. I guarantee it.
