The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

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.

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?

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.

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

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)
