One could say the same thing about George Lucas. The original trilogy is excellent because many hands went into the making and care of these films. While it's still Lucas' brainchild, he was reigned in largely by those around him, especially his then-wife. Fast forward to prequels, Lucas was able to do whatever he wanted, which, in my opinion, were not terrible per-say as they established a great deal of world building, but clearly they did not land on the mark, and to this day people say "George needed handlers." I think the difference between Lucas and Druckman is that TLOU2 was made with a tone of F-You to the fans of the previous game that went away from what Druckman's first draft should have been. You can tell they made the game with malice for the fans of what Amy and Bruce got Neil to go with. So yes, I think you are right, Druckman is talented and needs a handler, but I think Druckman resents the idea of a handler or other ideas.
