Amidst the recent developments over on Reddit, this seems to have gone under the radar.
As Vara herself remarks within the first minute (of the 7:06 minute runtime) how TLOU2 saw a massive drop in sales (by up to 80% in the UK alone).
Though outlets like GamesIndustry.biz try to downplay this by pointing out how sales drop after the first week, Vara found how dubious the "all games have such dropped sales in general" angle doesn't add up.
My only hope is that all this is pinned to both Sony and Naughty Dog.
Naughty Dog are the main culprits, but Soyny are the enablers that have been going on a power trip for years. The crazy DMCA take-downs of Joel-In-One Pro Golf are evidence of that.
They need a PS3 wake-up call, but I doubt it’ll happen since so many people just blindly buy nowadays.
Their unethical strategy has always been to create hype around it and push pre-orders and ban negative reviews so by the time the game comes out they get all the sales from disappointed people that just wanted a game, and call that a "success", of course when people found out it's shit they're gonna buy it less and less.
I just don't get the whole thing. The first game is like a blond bimbo trophy wife attempting to relay deep and meaningful platitudes on her half-naked Instagram photos. The tits are gorgeous, no doubt about it, but you can't be seriously considering the message as anything but conceited and fake.
The second game was never going to be any better, but people are somehow still shocked that the blond sucks dick. Like you didn't need to see proof on the onlyfans account to figure it out.
Here's my first post here, but well...here goes.

Quite a few people are noticing the Naughty Dog and Sony angle, to be sure. Especially IGN's suspicious silence over the DMCAs.
