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, Abby is trans" insanity
  Edit: no brain, it wasn't Ellie
  
  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)
lol, sure
- no, it's true!
  customers hated that the game sucked ass.
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
  -- a random blogger
- .....What the hell was this about?
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?
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
The loudest sign of a weak character is the inability to take responsibility for fuckups.
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?
  
  If it's going to kick up dust and all that bullshit it's not worth it.
