Days Gone’s director, John Garvin, has publicly criticized Bend Studio for using Deacon St. John, the game’s main character, in a promotional ad for Astro Bot.

This isn’t the first time Garvin has voiced frustrations over how Bend Studio has handled the Days Gone franchise since his departure in 2019. What are your thoughts on Bend Studio’s decision to feature Deacon St. John in this way?
