Laura Bailey commented on messages like this: “God, I try to post here only positive … But sometimes all this becomes a little too much. I crossed out some words, because, well, you know, spoilers. And yet. Thanks to everyone who goes to me positive messages for balance. This means for me more than I can say ".
Man. I Try to Only Post Positive Stuff on Here … But sometimes This Just Gets a Little Overwhelming. I Blacked Out Some of the Words Cuz, Ya Know, Spoilers.

Head and screenwriter Part II Neil Drakmann (Neil Druckmann) also shared pictures from the stream of angry messages directed in his direction:
– I would like to put you in the game and knock you the brains of the fuck with a club, and then spit into you, as you made in the game, a heartless creature.
– I hope a real fan will kill you. [Spoiler] is everything, but you are nothing, bitch. You and this bitch from "Wild West World". Direct.
– Direct in the ditch, you, radical feminist. Display of radical feminism. I hope the Covid-19 will kill your entire toxic feminist studio.
“You can love or hate the game and share your opinion about it. Unfortunately, I get too many messages with abominations, hatred and cruelty ", – Writes Dracmann. In neighboring posts, he offers excessively excited to contact a psychotherapist: “Well … I understand. You love these fictional characters … but … they are fake. You understand this, so? Guys … don’t be afraid of therapy. Imagine this is a swing for your brain ".
Supervisor God of War Kory Barlog https://spins-heaven-casino.uk (Cory Barlog) spoke in support Dracmann: “Let these people go fuck. Even if I have no words left, fuck them I will send them anyway ".
Fuck these People, Man. EVEN WHEN I HAVE ZERO Fucks Left to Give, Fuck Them.

The best comments
N-yes, impunity on the network turns people into some freaks … It is a pity to Laura and the rest, they did not deserve
One could agree with this if not for one “but” that is voiced in the news: the actress send threats to death.
And I will write again: the actress sends the threats of death.
And again: Actress send threats to death.
Actress, who does not affect the plot at all, the game itself, but simply plays the character in this plot. From the point of view of these people, this is enough to desire to kill a person for his work.
Anyway, this is in any case abnormal. Even if in her place, another actor, screenwriter, gameplay, or a cleaner who passed by – threaten the death of another person abnormally.
Well, guys, even if you did not like the game very much and you are upset, such a persecution with threats is still a bust.
I condemn.
Gennady, you are serious? 4 trailer, at the end of which Joel covers Ellie with his hand. Everyone was shocked by this moment and, after leaks and assumptions, encouraged. In the game, this is Jesse. This is a hoax that cannot be justified, except for the desire to confuse fans and mislead, so that they calm down for Joel’s fate
And I think the riding of idiocy to expect that this will not, that everything will cost. Why do you tear out my phrases out of context and miss the essence? We both believe that the threat of reprisal is not acceptable. So? So. And my message was that the Naughty Dog and Sony allowed the spoilers leaks, closed comments, deceived expectations with linden trailers, supported the trash and did not recognize the problem. They put politics in the game and politics became around the game, and they, at first they say that the opinion of those who did not like the game is not essential, and then they do not know what to do with the Hayt wave. They put their employees under the blow, and then made their eyes five cents, like we don’t know how it happened.
Well, today they threaten, and then especially repulsed and impressionable will go to guard the Naure Dog employees under the office. It is very bad when people do not see the line between real life and games, they perceive the fate of non -existent characters too close to heart.
And hiding the ratio of likes and dyslaiks under absolutely every video about the game is also a war with spoilers? No need to burn out Sony here, with her actions she also actively participated in the flare of the conflict.
The fact is that people still need to spill their aggression and anger somewhere. Even if diesels are one of the modern ways. They were deprived of this opportunity to close and comments and the assessment of the rollers – it is natural and natural that anger and indignation from such an act has become even more.
So here I never on Sonya’s side. Even in such an ambiguous situation, it was necessary to give people to speak out and at least try to make contact with them, and not to jerk folk anger in considerable ways, pretending that nothing was happening.
The return question. And what did Sony achieve by hiding the assessment and blocking the comments?
I angered people even more. Made it clear that she does not care about the opinion of people.
More interesting is the fact that most of the people who write angry messages to Dragraman did not play the game at all or watched on YouTube
More interestingly why this is suddenly a fact? Because I can understand the argument “Someone looked at the plums or the beginning of the game and went to put 0 on the metakritis”, but why people who did not play the game at all, write something to Nile?
Well, about those who watched on YouTube … Well, of course, if the media position the game as a plot, the developers position the game as a plot, the players position the game as a plot, to justify the stinginess and wretchedness of the gameplay, then those who did not press the buttons, but reacted to the “plot” game, they looked at Utuba – they were not right.
If you want an opinion from a person who has passed the game? She is gameplay – shit. Here is just the bottom of the industry. And no plot, if it is brilliant three times, it will not pull it out. And the only angry message that I could, if I had a desire, write to Nile: “Hir the fucking gamemeracies, it is physically painful to play your shitty game. "
I hope these dudes and Drakman himself go to a therapist. He himself is an unhealthy person, he himself said that he wanted his game to angry the players, then quoted Cobain and called the players homophobes, in principle he should be pleased with such a reaction, he wanted her.
You cannot underestimate human stupidity. Such a large and experienced company as Sonya should know this perfectly, should have been assumed the worst options and act strategically, based on the situation. Especially when it is about the crowd.
If not originally, then at least after the first “swallows”: after that trailer with a kiss, after leaks and after growing attention and discontent around the game.
But it’s easier, of course, to condemn the post -fact and wonder what is happening, what is wrong with people.
And people just behave like people.
Make a game about people, about emotions, about hatred and not know that in the real world everything can be almost the same, and even worse. For any insignificant (relatively) reason, just give a reason for people, indicate the extreme ones – they will break. Already in the West they should understand about this better than many, especially now.
I also do not approve and do not share the threats and wishes of death to actors and employees on the basis of a personal attitude to the game, but to some extent I can understand. And if I can guess and suppose, then it should be completely obvious to the big uncles, long before.
No, no, it’s different. It’s one thing to juggling with facts and some scenes that are not included in the final product-and another rather fatty untruth, to put it mildly, about the topic that of course excites everyone. It is generally clear that they wanted to reassure the players of the seized spoilers, but in any case the move is quite ugly, this situation was quite hardly set on fire, although it would seem – a trifle. As well as the whole game, set fire to and set fire to Lol even stronger. But this is another story.
Sonya is generally not strong in PR, as you can judge throughout the history of the announcement and presentation of PS5, and in the notchi dog also do not help the case. When, after all Drakman’s plums, instead of some Damage Control and attempts to calm the fire, he throws even more phrases in the spirit of “Do not play our game”
