Sony just did a Unity here. How the hell can you ruin such a beloved game in a single cheer stupid move, for the purpose of just gathering data. It's beyond me.
I feel like Sony did a Sony here.
I'm old enough to remember when Sony shipped 22 million malware infested CDs because they were worried about Napster.
Also earlier this year they stole purchased content from millions of their customers
Also they bait and switched everyone with the advertising for the last of us pt 2.
I am unaware of this one. Can you share what is this about, or share the relevant search keywords?
Spoilers ahead for the game:
Yeah so if you look at the pre launch trailers

Joel is portrayed as being a part of the journey of the game. He dies in the first "chapter". They went so far as to switch a character out for him to make it look like he would be alive for the game. And then they try to make you sympathetic to the person who killed him by making you play as them for half the game.It makes my blood boil how bad pt 2 is after the first one is one of the best games ever.
Yikes. I am yet to play the game but I knew Joel dies in the second one, as it almost felt like a setup for his death was built-in.
However, I wasn’t aware of Sony going to such lengths to misdirect the game’s players.
Thanks a lot for sharing the context.
P.S. you might want to fix the formatting for the spoilers as it is currently not hidden.
I tried my best. I can't tell when it works
It is working now. :-)
Your spoiler syntax is incorrect (or not working on Jerboa).
I clicked the formatting button on boost...dunno why it ain't working. Thnx I'll mess with it.
I dunno why it won't work. I put the content between the tags and formatting with spaces and without. No dice

You need to put the text after the two spoiler words, not between them, no? The first sets up the tag, the second is the nameFancy words for fancy people
Like so, non?That's not working on boost for me looking at it
Boost isn't parsing spoilers right now, but if you view the permalink on the website it should render
Oh okay gotcha
