Naughty Dog’s original The Last of Us represented an important shift for the dev studio. Already having been known for its Uncharted games, The Last of Us helped establish the studio as one that could make excellent use of the quieter moments between main characters Joel and Ellie, which ended up being one of the best parts of the game. Sony and its player base seem to have recognized the brilliance of the title, as it recently won the award for Game of the Decade. Now, The Last of Us Part 2 director Neil Druckmann has issued a response thanking the fans for sticking with them over the years.

The Last of Us Part 2 director and Naughty Dog VP Neil Druckmann recently took to Twitter to thank fans for The Last of Us being voted as Game of the Decade. The message itself is short but sweet, with Druckmann making a “deal” with the fans, suggesting that as long as they keep being amazing, Druckmann and the folks at Naughty Dog will continue to work hard to make great games that PlayStation owners can be proud of. The Tweet can be seen below:

? here’s the deal… y’all keep being amazing fans and we’ll keep working hard to create great games that make you proud. ❤️ https://t.co/OMvuPTawqS
