     Go to Chapter 3, "The Big Move". It's almost creepy! They even mention Zampella and West by name. Jason Ruben, former head of Naughty Dog, calls it extremely unlikely that any publisher would pick up just these two guys without a team behind them and fund their own triple-A game. Keep in mind this is someone inside of the industry who probably knows a lot about this. It seems certain that West and Zampella will be offered jobs, but what a lot of us assumed - that they'll get to make whatever they want, at any publisher - is apparently not all that likely? I guess we will get to see soon enough.

    That was interesting. I see Ruben's point. Teams are bigger than individuals, makes since when dealing with big money jobs or games in this case.
