Naughty Dog addresses TLOU Part 2 leaks
- Thread starter Proven
- Start date
Imagine crunching over a game for multiple years, only for it to leak over a month before release.
The fact that they were so quiet and silent to avoid spoilers makes it worse.
Ok, installed it on firefox.Well enough.
Now to figure out how to only activate it for youtube, facebook and twitter. Browsing ERA should be fine, I hope.
Damn. Jason is right of course, but the fact that someone was that disgusted with the company is a horrible thing to think about. Hard to give ND the benefit of the doubt either considering what we know already.
When you make that decision, I'd assume game development is no longer the dream
You don't believe this will follow them to other industries? This person has proven they are untrustworthy and will backstab you if disgruntled. Their future should be bussing tables.
The only way you will miss the spoilers is if you avoid all comments related to gaming news on social media and even that might not be enough. Might want to drop Twitter, Twitch chat, Reddit etc. for the next two months
Eh it really sucks for the rest of the team, but I'm not about to shed tears for a company.
I feel for the individual who had their pay withheld during a world wide pandemic and lockdown.
pretty sure having to constantly crunch is far worse and way more hurtful than having the story to the video game you worked on leak lol
people really showing that they care less about the conditions of workers than about people knowing spoilers of a blockbuster video game.
What? It has nothing to do with this fucking thread, that's all.
This sucks all round... I've managed to steer clear so far but it's going to be a rough couple of months treading carefully on the internet.
Hopefully once this initial push of people being dickheads dies down, it'll go relatively quiet until closer launch.

Wow, this is really crazy... I really feel sorry for the team, and i hope they get the person who leaked the game as soon as possible. There is no excuse in doing this to your team, who have worked with you through all of this, no matter how pissed you are.
Now is a good time to start using a video blocker and backlist some keywords on twitter/tweetdeck
what i use is
Video Blocker
Unspoiler
chrome.google.com
tweetdeck and the twitter site don't sync your mute list so make sure to do it twice.
here's my list

I don't give a shit about your comparison. Like I said it's not a contest of which is worse.

Good idea to remove the tweet. I'll basically just be avoiding looking at the replies to everything for the next 6 weeks..
You're making it seem like the game code was erased by mistake or something-
No one will cancel this purchase due to reading 1 or 2 spoilers i guess.
Or you know, both? Quit being ignorant.
You don't understand how painful it is to have your shit leaked after spending years killing yourself to make it. It fucking sucks.
You'd be surprised. Some people with serious crimes against them are able to move locations and start a career
Plus there's freelancing
Well I turned to the spoiler thread because I thought I will be more angry if I'm spoiled by accident somewhere, YT or some dumb careless thread title and such.
Now I'm still angry, but also curious and excited. As someone above said, context is king in narratives.

People act like they lost a family member or something with spoilers lol. Imagine having such bloodlust because someone leaked spoilers for a video game.
I plan to but it will be hard since I like watching speculation videos about FFVII remake arghhhhh. Fucking shitty people have to ruin everything for everyone all the time. I hate this
I get that but it seems as if the vast majority of the public missed that memo and are just crying about "muh game" like look at the comments on that tweet, no really gives a shit about why the dev did what they did.
It doesn't have to be justified but it should be definitely considered. It honestly feels like the crunch justifies all of that work and that doesn't seem right to me either.
It isn't that simple. It has nothing to do with "caring less."
Crunch or not, people put their heart and soul into the game because they care about it. And I can promise you that the majority of those at Naughty Dog who are unhappy with work conditions are also unhappy with this. Even without crunch, they put their heart and soul into these games and they don't want their fans to be spoiled either.
Sony should find out who did this and sue his ass to jail.
Just got spoiled on Twitch. fml
Of course it's shitty. But people are angrier at the possibility of an employee leaking the game's story than they are at the possibility of Naughty Dog making said employee constantly crunch.
the likelihood of stuff leaking would be less high if Naughty Dog didn't make it so easy for their workers to hate working there.
Got twitter set up to hide anything remotely related to The Last of Us. Now we play the waiting game.
This is just a shitty situation for everyone involved. Even the person who leaked everything, because they achieved nothing other than ruining their own career.

That person fucked over his own co-workers. The issue with crunch needs to be addressed and not ignored but there is no justification for hurting your own co-workers who are in the same position as you because you're unhappy with your work conditions.
That's so freaking lame this even happened. I'm doing my best staying away from any discussion about the game just in case. Even clicking on this topic I was slightly concerned some asshole would try to account suicide and I'd see it.
Game dev careers average well under 10 years because the industry is terrible and abusive. It's just a constant churn through college kids. And Naughty Dog is one of the worst offenders. I was going to say something about this being a "dirty secret", but it's not even a secret anymore. Game companies should probably get their act together, treat people better, cause this is an inspiring act of sabotage, and I doubt it'll be the last.
That employee purposefully hurt his co-workers who go through the same exact crunch.
They aren't "angrier" at the leak than at crunching overall. But it is hard to feel bad for this specific person when he or she made a conscious decision to purposefully hurt his or her co-workers.
Don't read any tweet comment section or social media comment section from Sony, naughty dog, etc
I'd also say twitch x YouTube channels/videos
every post will be filled with spoilers
People are inside, bored and love to troll so it's not a good mix

There's no ethical justification for leaking something your colleagues have worked tirelessly towards, including not only their physical exhaustion but also their many sentiments attached to the project.
I'm not upset about the spoilers itself. I'm showing sympathy for the team. They've gone through hell to make this game and the fact that it leaks in the final stretches must be extremely disheartening.
Seriously wtf is up with this thread. So many obnoxiously condescending replies. God forbid people show sympathy.
What about the co-workers who went through the same crunch, but still can't wait for people to play the game for the first time? Was that all for nothin? They worked so long for some selfish jackass to leak everything? And people are taking his side? WTF!
It should be talked about working conditions in the game industry, but this is not the way. You don't fuck over your co-workers to get back at your boss.

Really makes you wonder about their working conditions if someone's willing to throw away their career to get back at the company like this.
Ye
It's so dumb that people would ruin this for others.
Yeah be super careful. I spoiled myself but I don't want others to be spoiled. I see spoilers posted on all ND tweets, random game stuff on twitter and youtube. The only thing you can do is mute every character name + TLOU on twitter and youtube just try to only look at the search bar.
