The dark side at ND? If he's only just now seeing some of the questionable stuff it took him a while, but they still make great games, TLoU2 looks awesome. I do hope he goes to the Initiative though, he's clearly good at his job as ND games have had overall pretty great animation...

I was referring to the initiative as being “the darkside”. And the initiative would be a great choice for growth, location, since he wouldn’t have to move, and join other devs that had already come from naughty dog and sony Santa Monica

Oh, what makes a potential move to the initiative 'seeing the dark side?" Just that it'd mean switching platforms?

Nah, was just a passive (Star Wars) joke, since they are just two different entities (companies).

Like me saying “I grew up in a Holden (Honda/Chevy) family but when I bought my first car it was a Ford (Toyota/Ford).

He seems to move around every few years, nothing wrong with that. He was mostly in charge of animation in cinematics and interactive cinematics at ND.
