Naughty Dog Shows Appreciation for a Fan

From OP;

"My father passed away 4 months ago. Growing up we would play Crash Team Racing together for years every night. When his health declined him and I would take turns playing The Last of Us. After he passed I wrote Naughty Dog a letter thanking them for their games. They send me this 3 months later..."

[SmokingMonkey]

"Thank you so much for writing to us and sharing your story. I can't begin to tell you how much it touched our hearts here at Naughty Dog. And knowing how involved our games were with you and your father is amazing to hear.
Stories like yours are the reason why we work so hard to make great games, and reading that The Last of Us changed your life is inspiring. When I read that you felt you were with your father again while playing it, it nearly drove me to tears. I can't imagine the pain you went through these last several months, but I'm touched that we've been able to help you get through it.
Please enjoy these items being sent over for you. We hope you like them and hope your continued support of our games carries on. When you receive this, please send me an email with your shirt size, I'd love to send some shirts. Thank you again for writing in ____ you're a true inspiration for all of us!"

Even ND letters will drive people to tears

[Ezz2013]

Even Ish story drive me to tears...This show how much talented ND really is.

Who played the game know what i'm talking about.

[Dynasty2021]

Or be used to drive up hype and foolish love for ND and increase Uncharted sales.

If any of you think they did this out of decency, ANY company for that matter, you're an idiot.

[Ezz2013]

@Dynasty2021

Someone on the internet send ND a letter and ND reply to him in *private* letter....but he choose to talk about it on Reddit.
and That's somehow ND way of drive up hype ?!

please, tell me how ND even know that this guy was going to show the letter and gifts he got?!

[Ezz2013]

Wow....and this is why Naughty Dog are my favorite developer.

They love their fans as much as their fans love them.

[showtimefolks]

simply put this is amazing, it's not like ND needs anymore motivation but I am sure stuff like this drives them to achieve even greater things in future

in my humble opinion ND are the best development studio in gaming, followed closely by kojima and R*

[Neonridr]

that's really cool. Terrible that it had to come at such a price to the writer, but a very kind and generous thing ND did by reaching out.

[Ristul]

The Last of Us was such an Amazing experience, Naughty Dog really has that special talent to tell a story.

[JoeReno]

agreed. I got stuck at the generator and gave up until I picked up the remaster last week, and played it all the way through over the course of a few days. It in my opinion is a masterpiece of storytelling, and is more compelling than most movies I have seen in the last several years. ND have heart, their games show it, and this response does to.

[ProfessorCrab]

I've been wanting to play it since it came out and still haven't gotten around to it. I really need to get on that.

[PizzaSteve]

That's nice of them to do.

[sovkhan]

Nice guys indeed, that's all i have to say here :)

[Speak_da_Truth]

The last of us is an experience that is unlike any other. I couldn't stop playing it and even when I wasn't home to play my ps3, I would think about what's coming next in the story.

[SmokingMonkey]

I've carried a Firefly pendant on my key chain since Day 1.

My GOAT.

[Speak_da_Truth]

I actually wrote an essay for my English course in college about The last of Us. Come to find out that my professor was a huge fan of the game. You should have seen my fucking face when he called me to the side and told me while he was returning our papers.

[medman]

Everyone needs more Naughty Dog in their life. This world would be a much better place if they did.

[victorMaje]

Respect

[SmoothC911]

Class act all around; no surprise coming from ND. I haven't had that kind of loss, but I can say that video games have been an awesome shared passion of mine and my brothers. I remember years back playing Imperium Galactica with my brother so long some nights that we'd see the sun coming up and would then call it a night. Or was it day? Lol, good times indeed :)

[Elwenil]

Anyone got the odds on ND now getting flooded with sob story letters, both true and false, in hopes of getting loot?

I'm not saying anything bad about people who have had some sort of loss in their lives, just that this probably going to be milked.

[JoeReno]

Yeah people generally suck. I thought this too after my initial reaction of heartwarming from this story.

[IceKoldKilla]

Yep. But they might be smart and just send a thank you letter back and only send items to the ones they actually believe. They don't NEED to give anything but replying doesn't cost anything but a sheet of paper, ink and a couple minutes to write.

[CantBeStopped]

Class act Naughty Dog, class act.

[IceKoldKilla]

I already wrote to him on Reddit but I'd like to add here that this is so awesome of Naughty Dog. They not only replied to him but also sent him neat items! So cool of them!

[TwoForce]

This is very heart warming. Thank you, Naughty Dogs.

[WitWolfy]

Where is my gift? If my wife was expecting a boy we would've named him Nathan Drake!

[outsider1624]

i would love to play the mp again. you could add me.

my psn id : outsider1624

[BlackTar187]

i still play it and i don't have any issues. I'll try and add you when i get home but the truth is i have not played anything other then Rocket league since Rocket League came out.

[S2Killinit]

Man i cant imagine how hard it must be... I wish you strenght, and i hope i can be strong one day as well. I can see why The Last Of Us was so relevant to your circumstances.

[scark92]

Naughty Dog can make you tear up anytime of the day!

[iron-fist-jockie]

guess people in this website cant take jokes..LMAO
