The LOU2 is somehow the 3rd highest grossing game on the PS4 (https://metro.co.uk/2020/08/17/last-us-part-2-third-best-selling-ps4-game-us-13138958/) despite is questionable quality and bad publicity? Why do you think this is? Do you think this will effect the game industry or not?

Thought I should have a quick look at how its doing on Amazon Japan. 3/5 but all the recent reviews seem to be 1 or 2 stars. Below is the top flagged comment along with a tweet the reviewer posted from Druckman https://imgur.com/gallery/2BawWQE
Basically says that they made the mistake of preordering based upon last game and won't be doing that again. That the people who made it did it for money not love of the characters (I disagree with that, it was ideological but Japan doesn't really understand the SJW infection) and says that he paid for a game not someone's self-satisfactory masturbation :)
Lots of other reviews just like that.
Edit: Read through a few more and, sad to say, there are also a similar amount of 5 star reviews (hence the 3/5 score). It seems like those who love it here are just huge fans of the original and are happy to revisit the world even if the characters are screwed over. Many seem to find the theme of the futility of revenge to be the game's strong point and don't really comment at all on man-monster Abby.
