I could see this, in the first game the killing was almost necessary ( with the exception of the hospital maybe) in the second one I liked the game play but was kind of sad at the forced killing of characters, the blind revenge aspect really bugged me.

TLoU2 was reasonable in the story line. Really after the first I expected a sequel. I do wonder how they continue the story here with the story of the original finished.

I have not been on reddit since the protest, but I didnt post or comment a lot anyway so probably not much of an impact

I just finished The Last of Us 2, it was pretty good. I am occasionally playing TOTK so I can help my kids out.
