Arr! Ye scurvy scallywags o' Naughty Dog be castin' their gaze backwards, lamentin' the paths not tread! Oh, the misadventures that could've been, had they sailed uncharted waters. But fret not, me hearties, for the plunderin' be still grand!

Arrr, me hearties! Gather 'round and listen to this tale of the Naughty Dog developers lookin' back at what could have been, in the language of a 17th-century pirate. Prepare for a humorous adventure on the high seas of game development!

Avast ye! 'Twas a time when the scurvy dogs at Naughty Dog set sail on the seas of creation, their minds filled with dreams of games beyond imagination. But alas, not every idea made it to shore! The developers, like a band of buccaneers, reminisce about the games that got away.

First mate Bruce Straley, with a twinkle in his eye, recalls the treasure huntin' game that almost saw the light of day. Aye, it had it all - buried treasure, treacherous traps, and even a parrot sidekick named Polly! But alas, it sank beneath the waves of doubt, never to be seen again.

Next up be Captain Neil Druckmann, a cunning scallywag with a mischievous grin. He tells the tale of a game set in the wild west, with bandits, shootouts, and a showdown at high noon. But alas, it met its doom, lost in the depths of development hell.

But fear not, me hearties, for Naughty Dog be a resilient crew! They may have lost a few treasures along the way, but they've also struck gold with their beloved franchises like Uncharted and The Last of Us. These scurvy dogs have a knack for crafting epic adventures that leave us yearning for more.

So raise yer tankards and toast to Naughty Dog, the fearless band of developers who dare to dream. Though some of their ideas may have walked the plank, they continue to sail the gaming seas, bringing us joy and laughter with each new release. Yo ho ho, me hearties!
