Bit hyperbolic maybe, but I fear also not very far-fetched.

A more measured take, albeit a bit of a read. Also, with numbers

More proof our capitalist economy hasn’t learned anything to break the lovely cycle of boom and bust. No safeguarding of anything, or curbing the human tendencies for greed. Just, an industry run on base emotions and ego seeking mooooaaar profit, and oh you bootlicking bottom feeders who actually do most of the work want to share in some of that? Pffft.


Anyways, as an aside about the first article’s title -

This seems like a deliberate attempt to cash in on FOMO: "Hey, you better check this out before it's gone so you can blog/X/make videos about it for clout!"
That pretty much checks out. He was better off buying either commissioner artwork of the franchise or downloading literal porn. Either of those have more value than whatever is going on here.

Well, it will atleast have an easier time making Ellie's response to her own horrid action feel more genuine without the countless NPC goons murdered inbetween. It's kinda stupid seeing her shocked that she hit a downed woman with a pipe after having already killed 3 dozen people in the most brutal fashion.

But the very premise of this sequel is already garbage, so any adaptation would have to contend with that and fail as a result.
