The Last of Us 2 absolutely had a hate campaign long before it released, it was review bombed within minutes of release
This game had everything on its side. All the youtuber who covered it the months before release were like “it seems too good to be true, but if it’s true it’ll be great”. Everyone wanted it to be good, everyone wanted it to succeed
Yeah I remember the “waaaa it went woke, Ellie is trans” insanity
It wasn’t her it was Abby, because she was buff they claimed she was trans. Then there was a sex scene with Abby and man and they claimed is was an unskipable gay male sex scene (it was skipable, btw, and it was hetero sex, but she’s got biceps)
Can’t help but feel some distaste for the idea that a mandatory gay sex scene is grounds for boycott, while most of them don’t mind a mandatory straight sex scene in an M-rated game.
I have my issues with TLoU2 but that one really brought the chuds out of the woodwork.
They take any presence of minorities as part of an agenda to, uh, I don’t know what exactly. They always screech about an agenda but I don’t think even they know what the agenda is supposed to be about.
Oh yes doi of course, that was just a brain fart. But yes exactly this, it was such a spectacularly gAmEr moment.
lol, sure
no, it’s true!
customers hated that the game sucked ass.
So… my comment was removed…now we can’t tell scam artists who are peddling literal fake news to “shut the fuck up” here without our comments (that multiple people agreed with here) without getting culled?
I understand about not being toxic towards other’s here but this was directed at the ponce making that statement
…that multiple people agreed with here…
The admin/mod team here make the final decision as to what is nice or not. Do you have a genuine grievance?
The loudest sign of a weak character is the inability to take responsibility for fuckups.
Surprised they didn’t throw in the usual death threats spiel too whenever something isn’t well received so attention shifts to pitying them.
lol, lmao even
Was it the hate campaign that made any of your associated address with the company were never a place you were at? Was it them who used unpaid interns to mod and build the game, then left them out to dry with no support when the hate for the state of the game came in?
In summary, the writer says the game indeed sucked and it was not caused by racist hate coming from random bloggers, whom by the way they never named. That dev can continue to go fuck itself into bankruptcy.
The idea of random bloggers having any impact in 2024 made me laugh. Thanks for that :D

One of the most wish listed games ever…a hate campaign.
Shut the fuck up and let your company die in a corner
