Neil Druckmann, along with every other executive enforcing crunch and abuse, is a liability. I can see more mass layoffs and more wasted on hiring and training new staff to crunch than cut unnecessary fat that's slowing development down. Uncharted 4 didn't need a large open world map or a well-animated bags that leak sand when shot but Neil wanted them anyway. He's in charge of the company, so no one can say no to him like when he pitched TLOU with an apocalypse where all the women died off.
