Hi,
Author and interview here.
There were no questions about the departures for a few reasons, the main one being that this was conducted via email making questions like that pointless as either I wouldn't have received an answer or it would've been the same as their statement on the matter. Secondly the main purposes of this interview was more general and more about Naughty Dog as a developer and it's culture which, even if you're not, many...
Hmm fair point about Jak and Daxter. I think I got slightly confused between what was said and mental links I'd made. I'll change it when I have chance (probably tomorrow).
