![Naughty Dog Allegedly Found Bungie's Feedback on Binned The Last of Us 2 Multiplayer Extremely Helpful 1](https://images.pushsquare.com/eb62746bcddd8/naughty-dog-allegedly-found-bungies-feedback-on-binned-the-last-of-us-2-multiplayer-extremely-helpful-1.900x.jpg)
There’s a common sentiment among PlayStation enthusiasts that Bungie waded into Naughty Dog’s offices, saw a finished version of The Last of Us 2’s long anticipated live service multiplayer game, and immediately started flipping over tables and ordered the acclaimed developer to cancel the whole thing. The reality was always likely to be less exciting, and Bloomberg’s trustworthy Jason Schreier has shed a little more light on what allegedly happened.
“Bungie gave Naughty Dog feedback that Naughty Dog found extremely helpful when making what was likely a very smart decision to not go all in on a service game,” he revealed on X (or Twitter), when asked pointedly about the cancellation by a fan. “People lamenting this cancellation should really look at the history of single player studios pivoting to make service games such as ANTHEM, Suicide Squad, Marvel’s Avengers, Redfall, and so on.”
