Neil Druckmann receiving death threats since The Last of Us Part 2




I dont care if you dont agree with the direction of the game, if you contributed to this you're a fucking moron.


Meh, there will always be some assholes that take it too far, but it's a tiny, tiny minority of the comments that are doing death threats, I doubt it's even 1% and yet they always use them as a representation for everyone that's annoyed and for sympathy points.
 
If they focus test their games that much how do we know that some of those leaks aren't cut content that never made it out of focus testing? There is a ton of stuff that gets cut from most games.
 
- Naughty Dog are overrated as fuck.
- Neil Druckmann is a talentless male feminist hack.
- Sending death threats over a shitty storyline and SJW propaganda is uncalled for and just as shitty.

The far-left agenda can (and should) be fought through more civilized and intelligent means.
I agree with everything except possibly your judgement of Druckmann. Then again, I know nothing about the guy, but that's why I can't judge him yet.
 
It always sucks to see, I mean, it's completely disgusting really. It's unfortunately what happens when "fans" love characters, a series, a universe, and the direction goes where they don't want. It's beyond uncalled for, but keyboard warriors are always going to be present until they can no longer be anonymous. :messenger_frowning_

I don't see any evidence of death threats but if it's true, that's lame as fuck.

Like seriously, people need to grow up. Plus that shit could legit land you behind bars.

It's no secret that some of the success comes from long development times. However to say that's the only factor is idiotic la niore had longer development time than any ND game., same can be said about many games.

It's a slap to the face to those with actual talent, in which they have, otherwise other studios would not be trying to poach them.

Bethesda has all the money in the world, and their in house development constantly puts out janky buggy messes even after long development cycles.

Money helps, talent shines.

Making the statements you made and then calling for more civilized/intelligent means is a whole lot of irony in one post.

Triggered extreme anti-SJW's feeling left behind by social progression. Not the first time it's happened.

This is an interesting take. The activists in multiple media have been trying to push their "progressive" agenda for a few years now and they almost always inevitably fail. That would mean that most people are tired of their shit more than anything.

Sad to hear that. People can be assholes.

no need to paint with a broad brush. It is usually unstable sociopaths (antisocial disorder), so maybe 4% of the population. Knowing there are mentally ill people on the internets helps temper my misanthropy. Most people wont try to terrorize you or ruin your life because of a videogame or a tweet.

and there are 'progressive' AS/sociopaths, so yeah...
 
I can't stand Druckmann and his agenda, but what I can't stand even more is social media keyboard warriors making death threats on Twitter, especially over something like a video game. Jeez get a life losers.
 
Just about every public figure gets death threats these days thanks to the points of access provided by social media. It's shitty and uncalled for, but best to just brush it off since they're rarely credible threats.
Or if you have Xbox Live, PSN, Steam accounts... or exist in any way online.

Sorry but many of the "death threats" people claim to get are no different than the ones we all get online. Stomp someone in Call of Duty and you will eventually get some.

99.99% of them are no more serious than some kid claiming to have fucked your mom.

And honestly, people are more than happy to get them to gain sympathy online (if they were real at all)

Yeah, came to say this.

Actually, one of the public schools I lived near as a kid would constantly get death threats from kids trying to get a day off school... How do I know? Because I knew some of the kids that used to do it who got kicked out of said schools... But for different reasons.

Anyway, death threats, sadly, are the norm for lots of institutes and positions... Lots of retards out there.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen "progressives" wish death on those not towing the line. Hell, some blue checkmarks and celebrities have been less than subtle about it.
 
Death threats are nothing special. Any moron with access to the internet can toss those around. I've had em but by far the best hatemail i ever got was "i hope you get into an accident and die" lol.

And that was over a ranked match on ufc 🤣🤣🤣
 
I know people are bored at home but holy fuck man this is fictional media for fuck sake, get a grip. I swear if people invested a sliver of the effort they put into the fluff media they consume into things that actually mattered this world would be paradise.
 
There're plenty of dumb people out there that takes everything way too far. This is unnecessary. This isn't a fucking war. You don't like what is offered? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT! Its not like you're being forced to buy it, let alone play it.
 
A "death threat" today is someone tweeted "go die" to him. There will always be idiots and trolls on the internet.
 
You don't seem to understand what overrated means.
I dont think anyone agrees with you in that sense. Ive never heard anyone say Naughty Dog games as of late were overrated. 4 was a stretch due to pacing issues but Ive never heard from other people saying they were overrated.
 
I think this whole thing is ridiculous, honestly. Just shows how much sensitive pricks there are out there, its video games. Death threats over a script?!?! Tell me this, what popular video game out there has a scrip that you can read and you can honestly say, without playing the game, "Thats a damn good script!" What game? Halo? Final Fantasy 7? Half Life? Metal Gear Solid? I play games, not scripts.

Overrated? Who isn't overrated? who is justifiably rated? No one, everyone is overrated by someone. Nintendo is overrated. Xbox is overrated. Playstation is overrated. Half Life is overrated. Mario is overrated. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is overrated. Zelda is overrated. I can go on and on.
 
If you send death threats to anyone you yourself should probably be taken out and shot.

On a side note, this reminds me of the time Randy Pitchford apparently got a death threat and posted it on Twitter.
 
I hate that we live in an age where people (pretend to) take online death threats at face value, when fact is: They're just mean shitposts like they existed since the inception of the internet. It's just that now the internet has become so mainstream that too many 'normies' exist that aren't accustomed to internet trash talk (aka pwning).

Not to misunderstand: wishing someone death and such is terrible, but it's almost guaranteedly *never* an actual death threat, just like writing 'kms' doesn't mean people are actually killing themselves. What angers me is that people like Druckmann *knows* all that and likely only publish this stuff to garner sympathy.

There are a lot of crazy people out there and with the vitriol toward this game I can see somebody taking it too far. I have never seen anything like this since Gamergate. Fans who feel they own an artist have gotten violent before. That is how John Lennon and Selena were killed.

Your jumping gun where has he be confirmed he's taking any of supposed threats seriously.


Seems to me you've read the title and made post without reading the tweet.

If you had done you'd realise he was making a joke of the whole thing hardly someone trying get sympathy.
 
I don't buy this. It sounds more like damage control and the media is hyping it to kiss Sony's ass. They failed to copystrike youtubers discussing about the spoilers, probably the death threat is fake too.
 
This Druckman douche made an off-hand joke about death threats and some of you are acting like he contacted the media/FBI.
 
What kind of idiot does that? I think the people who's heads are exploding are over doing it already, be upset, be disappointed but people watching youtube outrage videos every day makes no sense.
 
I mean, he probably has received online death threats, but all he did was jokingly imply he's received them. I don't necessarily see this as confirmation of said threats or that he's received many since TLoU2 announced. The title of this thread is misleading.
 
I forgot to add to the op but the death threats happened after people found out about the leaks and specifics to them revolving around characters, so that should put in perspective why people are sending them which still makes them fucking idiots

@mods add to title that he has received them after the leaks

Not at all. Social progress has been made, significantly so - in part due to media influence and representation. Experienced it and benefited from it first-hand, but whatever. "Progressive agenda" is an interesting term in and of itself, especially considering that social progress has been predominantly nonpartisan and universal - perhaps just slower with some affiliations, but nonetheless, nonpartisan progress.
 
The backlash against SJWs is because many people are tired of walking in eggshells in fear that they might offend somebody over the smallest thing. It doesn't mean that the other side now has to throw a fit because they are offended.
