The show is incredibly popular.


And became incredibly bad. Not surprised at all it's getting a season 3 but it lost momentum because of awful writing and had 55% less viewers for the season finale for S2 than S1.

Still wouldn't be surprised if the third season never gets made.

Druck leaving isn't the best sign that it will get done

First of all, I don’t have to. There are a plethora of videos out there fully explaining the entire backstory. Take your pic, either videos or magazine articles. It’s not even a secret at all, but because you don’t want to learn it for yourself, you would rather just pretend it doesn’t exist.

I don’t have an argument! That’s what you’re missing. It is in fact, objectively true. I don’t care how much it annoys you or that you don’t want to admit that I’m right, but the evidence is clearly out there. You’re just playing the contrarian because you don’t want it to be true.

That’s a you problem.

dude you've already admitted you didn't play the games and aren't a gamer.

I was around when it all happened. I was hype for the game and followed it as it happened.

You didn't. You followed what one side told you happened, probably from a youtuber like all your other opinions. Those people aren't unbiased and honest.

Well, that's only true, from a certain point of view.

I did NOT play the TLOU games, correct. Because I don't have nor ever had a Play Station.

But I do have an XBox, and have played video games going back to the 70's.

Does that make me a "gamer"? Had an Atari 2600, Nintendo 64, Xbox, XBox 360, Xbox One... if you want to 'diss' me for that, ok. I respect it. Not much, but whatever.

It's cute that you think you have some sort of ownership over any of this just because "you were around when it happened". Well, so was I. And in real time, YouTubers were getting hit for telling the truth about the game. Naughty Dog tried to get them struck, vids taken down, all sorts of stuff because Druckmann didn't want the word getting out least it would hurt sales. As well it should.

What happened happened, and there's not any reddit posting or whatever the hell that is that'll change anything.

Take the L, FFS.

Yep.

and everyone knows what you are saying did not happen. It doesn't even make sense. A creator coming out and attacking fans of the product before they said anything against it isn't something you can sell with zero evidence.

And that isn't reddit. It's 4chan. where the original leaks and rumors started. You would fit in well posting there with the other incels though.

Do people think the Druckman exit hurts or helps the show? The arguments being made in here are all over the fukkin place.

That fall of this show was as easy to predict as Corinthians denial of reality. Watching the Proles not understand it is legitimately hilarious.

I didn't play the game. Story heavy walking simulators don't interest me, but both you guys are kind of misrepresenting the real controversy surrounding TLOU 2 leaks. Druckman, Sony and Naughty Dog took it a step too far and started copyright striking anyone that discussed the leaks. This more than anything else is what turned public sentiment (at least in the online spaces) against Naughty Dog.

Yet YOU'RE the one who found /posted this and not me.

You doth project too much!

Reddit, 4Chan,8Chan, QAnon....I'm a fan of none of it. So I'll leave all that true incel crap to you. It's your ground, after all.

The first season was popular because it portrayed the first game which is a masterpiece. Season 1 was good minus the broke back zombie apocalypse episode that wasn’t even in the game. Viewership for season 2 plummeted from my understanding

Maybe it followed the game, but season 1 had at least 3 dud episodes, the second one and the last two. When season 1 ended, I didn't want to continue to season 2 based on how stupid I thought the finale was. I changed my mind, and i thought season 2 had a couple good episodes, and a handful of mediocre-to-bad ones. None of the quality issues i had had to due with gameplay, because Ive never played the games. Following the game doesn't equal quality storytelling, as narratives in games do not, and should not, translate directly to longform television narratives.

The live viewership dropped. The hours viewed on Max went up. Nielsen is calling it an 18% overall drop viewership. Some of those viewers probably went away due to a lack of fidelity to the games; most people watching this show have never played the games.

Lol so funny how much the poli boarders cant stand it.

The last of us is indisputably a top 10 game of the 2010s decade and uncharted 4 is top 50

How are the politcal bots always so predictable?

Interesting you took a break from pedophilia to post in this thread tho.
