Oh boy I'm getting a real shades of the final Season of Dexter vibe from that message.

Didn't watch Dexter.
What happened?

He became a lumberjack and nothing was resolved in the series.

What truly shocks me is they are blaming "gamer entitlement" for all this controversy, when TLOU isn't even a game.

Yes, people who want a reasonably good product are just being "entitled."

Notice that they never pull that shit when the game's actually good. You saw none of this "entitled" shit when Doom Eternal dropped, because Doom Eternal went out of its way to please diehard fans of the series. Even when the game got delayed, the developers apologized and offered more stuff to the players to make up for the longer wait.

Meanwhile this game has been revealed to be a steaming pile of shit and rather than attack the developers, people attack the gamers for just wanting something good. That's just fucked up.

Thanks, Kiwis. I had gone searching for the spoilers without luck and had intended on buying it anyway if I thought it looked good. Everything was nicely collated and I've saved $65.

Y'all are the best.

Shamelessly stealing this from the sodom that is twitter

The last ten years have been like a genocide, but for IP's. What I don't get is why they keep handing the reins to people intent on poisoning one multimillion dollar franchise after another. Seriously asking, how does this keep happening? Has the rot set in too deeply?

Erm....has anypony noticed a certain resemblence Dick Splitem has to a certain someone?

A running theme with developers seems to be them growing up and thinking that suddenly they can make Big Important Statements.

God of War is the immediate example, but that ended up being a fantastic game.

To be fair TLoU was Cuckman's baby, its just he had people able to reign him in for that. after the first game did well and uncharted 4, a lot of the old staff left, cuckman is probably one of the last of them in the studio now.

Figures that the moment it turns seven years old he decided to molest it

Most of these developers live in LA or Montreal and think the gay pride parades outside their door are "more representative" than the rest of the country.
Also, the rise of China and India means they don't give a fuck about your criticism, there are 2 billion other consoomers who will buy the product without question. "Oh, but China and India hate pozz", you might say. Well, they hate traditional western values too; so they're well trained to ignore those aspects.

Anyone started cataloguing all the "FUCK CAPITALISM! CORPORATIONS NEED TO BURN! THEFT IS HILARIOUS AND AWESUM!" speds who are currently rage-shitting their britches over a poor widdle corporation being unfairly deprived of its profit? Because im guesisng this is going to take off in the next few days

Wow, first time I was glad to have chosen Xbone over PS4... Not that it matters since I now have a PC, but at least I didn't play the first game, wait seven years for a sequel, and then get massively disappointed by this.

Good job Cuckman.

The colors did make this come up.

I give it 2 hours after release before white supremacy is blamed for poor sales numbers.

Maybe they listen to much to the marketing department which scans the internet and only sees the loud, obnoxious people who demand this and that. They put this stuff in the gamesand then they wonder why none of the silent fans buy it. Or insult your customers "If you don't like it don't buy it". Though you might argue if the developer were smart they would create games which causes the SJW's to melt down. Then you probably have a gem to sell (let's face it good games always sell)

WHO IS THIS GAME FOR

People who are ashamed of liking video games. They need those "mature" blu-rays where you simply push the left stick to walk in a corridor 90% of the time while the story is told by a side character. The remaining 10% is about tiptoeing past the "zombies".

I give it less than one for the patriarchy to be blamed.

More like I bought a crap PC and a decent PC.
