There\u2019s probably\u00a0something to be said of Ross\u2019 departure from the studio following the release of Days Gone, which he\u2019s now revealed was viewed by local management (likely local Sony and PlayStation management)\u00a0as a \u201cbig disappointment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former Bend director touched further on his initial tweet in the replies section, revealing that he\u2019s \u201cnot sure\u201d if current Bend developers are unhappy with management.
