8 mentions of Last of Us shows how influential some of the mechanics in that game were for future games - this is obviously especially the case for Naughty Dog themselves, but there were so many innovative takes on that genre in Last of Us that I'm sure many other dev studios have been impacted by the ideas and near flawless execution.

Haven't played Uncharted 4, but Last of Us is a masterpiece.

I love the way this article is written. Sometimes these types of articles go deep into personality and politics and you really get that anywhere you go. Here you get a peek into the nitty gritty while keeping it at a layman level. Plus, it gives you a chance to imagine how you might solve the problems he faced.

This looks like a CV to me that he can use in the future whenever he applies for a job/promotion

> but Last of Us is a masterpiece

Really? I bought and played that game on the PS3 and thought it was pretty good and that's about it. I didn't think any part of it was especially novel.

Is it still commonplace for them to get a percentage of sales as a bonus? I know someone who worked on Tomb Raider 2, 3 and 4. he's not poor.

I don't think that's ever been commonplace. The games industry is known for long hours and relatively low wages
