He hasn't jumped ship. He's incredibly busy being the boss of a major game studio, and specifically directing a game that's probably in its final year of development, as in, the time when people tend to work overtime like crazy just to get the game done, while also overseeing the other games the studio is making. His leaving has nothing to do with the reception (the majority of which is positive) but because of the duties he has at his main job. He worked on Season 2 less than season 1 for the same reason, and now it's getting to that crunch time where there's no chance he'd have time to work on the show.

Neil's not going to hire you. You don't have to defend him at every turn.
He most certainly did insult people who disliked Last of Us Part II.
I understand he probably had to contend with loads of people being vile and offensive and sending him threats. But there was legitimate criticism towards the game that's justified.
At the end of the day, game 1 is better than 2, and that's the same case with the show.
