"In re-reviewing our recent interview with Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann, we have found several significant errors and inaccuracies that don't represent his perspective and values (including topics such as animation, writing, technology, AI, and future projects). We apologize to Neil for misrepresenting his words and for any negative impact this interview might have caused him and his team. In coordination with Naughty Dog and SIE, we have removed the interview."

Neil should be more concerned about gamer's perception of gaming. It's one thing to try to pander to the "mainstream" but it is gamers who pay the bills ultimately. And after TLOU2 he faces a very uphill battle trying to sell their next game, whatever it is.
