When Naughty Dog and Sony started DMCA attacks on people just discussing that there WAS a leak, with no images, video or spoilers from those leaks, they lost my business.
Between fans who would've enjoyed the plotline but got it ruined with spoilers and the fan who think the plotline is garbage, I just kinda feel bad for all of them. Definitely highlighted some issues with the gaming industry tho.
Meh, i just hope TLoU 2 will fail. Current head of Naughty Dog (neil druckmann) is absolute dogshit of a person, who crunches his employees, fires his best writer (Amy Hennig) for no reason and being an SJW feminist. What can be worse?
It seems the leaks are from an employee who protested the horrible working conditions. And I've heard from relations that REALLY loved the first one: the story was f*cked by executive meddling, as well, and this is the best remaining scenario for all those involved.
@Andy, that is actually incorrect, and a popular publisher "Fact" That has been spread around to make gamers feel worse about not buying games. Devs are paid all the way up through to the game's release. Devs rarely, if ever actually get a portion of the post-release profits.
I feel bad for the people who had to work unreasonable hours on this game, or be fired, only to have their hard work spoiled by some waste of flesh. They're the ones who are going to feel the pain from this, not Sony.
It's times like these I'm glad that A) I don't have any interest in games like that so spoilers go unnoticed anyway, and B) I don't buy from or otherwise support companies/developers who go nuclear with their knee-jerk reactions.
