There was a lot of buzz about 'The Last of Us 2' having a big online multiplayer game, but it was canceled before it came out.
Some people thought Bungie, another game studio, pushed Naughty Dog to cancel it because they didn't like it.
But actually, Bungie gave Naughty Dog advice that helped them realize the game might not be successful, so they decided to stop working on it.
It seems like Bungie helped Naughty Dog avoid making a mistake by giving them honest feedback about the project.
