The Last of Us Online \u00e4r ett av spelen som Sony Interactive Entertainment upph\u00f6rde med att st\u00f6dja \u00e5r 2023, orsakerna till detta \u00e4r dock inte helt klara. Offentligt har denna beslut f\u00f6rklarats som en strategisk skiftning bort fr\u00e5n spel som orienteras kring tj\u00e4nster p\u00e5 grund av sv\u00e5righeter med att underh\u00e5lla dem. Men detta perspektiv har senare ifr\u00e5gasatts av Shuhei Yoshida, som avgick efter 31 \u00e5rs dedicated service hos Sony och ofta delar insikter fr\u00e5n sin karri\u00e4rerfarenhet. I en intervju p\u00e5 podden ’Sacred Symbols+’ avsl\u00f6jade Yoshida, tidigare ordf\u00f6rande f\u00f6r PlayStations Worldwide Studios, att The Last of Us Online st\u00e4ngdes fr\u00e4mst eftersom Naughty Dog inte hade f\u00f6rest\u00e4llt sig den arbetsbelastning som kr\u00e4vdes f\u00f6r att underh\u00e5lla det.<\/p>\n
The Bungie studio, known for Halo and Destiny, alerted Studio X to the implications of developing such a game, including the significant ongoing energy required even after release. This realization would have necessitated part of the studio’s team to continuously work on it, potentially jeopardizing the production of ”Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.” As a result, the decision was made to end the project, mutually agreed upon between Naughty Dog and Sony. Shuhei Yoshida used this anecdote to explain that not all service games are mandated by studio orders but sometimes studios themselves, inspired by a constantly evolving market, wish to explore this niche area. This was the case with Naughty Dog, which apparently underestimated the task involved… According to Shuhei Yoshida, it is unfortunate that ”The Last of Us Online” was a great game in his opinion.<\/p>\n
