Technology Head Christian Gylling is leaving Naughty Dog
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
He is going to be at naughty dog for lifetime until he himself retiresWhy can't it have been cuckmann
This clearly isn't a simple retirement as he was just tweeting about staying longer last year.
More exits from long standing members under Jim Ryan's tenure. Playstation hasn't been in this much disarray in a while.

Wow what a horrible start to the generation for Naughty Dog. Critical staff leaving or laid off, 3 remasters, pc ports, factions 2 development slowed down, and a needless remake.
What’s the root cause of these problems? Jim? Hermen? Neil? When will we finally get some good news?

I wish certain members on this forum would stop acting like nothings wrong and everything’s fine
People better not try to downplay this as “16 years is a long time…he’s just retiring”

Yep, something definitely changed. Or maybe he got a fat offer from a competing company (poached by MS)?
I wish him the best of lucks.
Not sure if you know it, but Jim Ryan already retired. He has nothing to do with this guy leaving.
Pretty likely he left to join another company, or to create his own project, or due to personal / familiar reasons. Or who knows, maybe he caused a big mess and took responsability for it.
The Sony studios have creative freedom to do the games they want. And if one of them have more freedom to do whatever they want, it's Naughty Dog.
Naughty Dog were the ones who decided that for them it would be better to branch out the TLOU2 MP and to reboot it into a standalone MP game that would be their biggest project ever.
What Jim Ryan did was to give ND (and all the other teams) resources to hire more people and grow their studios hiring people to release their games faster and being able to work more games at the same time. And also improved their marketing helping them to sell more than ever. What an "evil" CEO!
Do you seriously think that Jim Ryan -after he retired- created some kind of conspiracy to fire or make leave the head of technology of one of their studio? Really?
In the linked ND post, Druckmann mentions the new heads of the studio because Evan Wells will leave at the end of 2023, announcing that their new Head of Technology was going to be Christian Gyrling:

If this guy will leaves now, probably is because Evan Wells poached him to go with him to create his new studio. It would make sense that Evan would want to bring the head of tech with him.

It's cuckmann get rid of him he's supposed to be head of the games studio but he's clearly more interested in Hollywood so let him piss off over there
Druckmann promoted him to his current position of head of technology and vicepresident of ND in July.
Won't fire him 4 months later, and if would fire him ND wouldn't make a tweet thanking him for his work blabla.
He left, prety likely to go with Evan Wells (who is leaving now) to create a new studio.
Look at the sales of TLoU, Uncharted 4 and TLoU 2... Nobody fires someone who brings in that kind of results.Why can't it have been cuckmann
Yes, at best, depending on the company there would be an email with something like:
"So and so is no longer with ND as of today, we wish him the best."
Certianly no Tweet.
All 3 need to go, they have ruined Sonys best first party studio
Stop crediting him for uncharted 4 he had minimum input in it , tlou was great but it wasn't written by him , tlou2 was shit
Fuck offWhen you force yourpolitics in game, this happens
Sorry just tired of people shitting on the UK

What's changed is that the MVP Evan Wells is retiring and with him, a lot of high old-timers loyal to his leadership and studio stewardship will pack their bags. This happens often elsewhere in businesses, small or big.
Could there be more to it? Absolutely. The studio has survived high departures before, from OG ownership to everything inbetween. We'll see what the future holds.

The biggest news here is Evan Wells leaving. he's one of the last members of the old guard, leaving Neil with no opposition. Not sure what the future holds with him as the only one pulling the strings but it's good to have people with opposing views on the team. Kojima could use a few of those.
We only can guess what happened. Maybe family problems and what not. But, for now, he wants to leave, not retire
