Yes why did naughty dog lie? Good question
It's false equivalency I mean it's really the only fucking argument you have at this point at the end of the day if you're going to say hiding the plot to a story is a "lie" to Consumers might as well argue every game with a story is lying to Consumers
You're not telling a consumer or a laundry list of objective fucking features that are supposed to exist in the game
So them hiding the plot in trailers is not lying to investors causing multiple lawsuits.
It's not something that's causing multiple crashes.
It's not causing mass returns to the point of being the most returned game in history.
My friend you simply do not have any logical explanation of why they're literally lying about the state of the game to even the people funding the fucking game and why they are hiding the reviews of specific versions.

" you're throwing around words like "fraud" Sir.....when you take money from an investor and lie about the state of a game, then proceed to order reviewers to NOT SHOW FOOOTAGE of said game on several platforms, this is fraud.
You are lying about something, you are receiving money based on the information you are giving.
Its as text book fraud as it comes my dude. As to why they are fucking getting sued by several parties.
"From games that could brick your console" Of games you can't fucking list. You know of a major AAA release where that was happening to this scale? I'd love to hear it.
"to games that are nine years in early access" This game is taking money, while they still develop the game to fucking correct it WITHOUT TELLING CONSUMERS IT WAS EARLY ACCESS, I'd argue this is worse.
Early Access is known. This was not. You are basically proving my point as this game does that, without anyone knowing before hand that is what they where planning to piecemeal out the game thru features and patches and updates. We are waiting for a patch to make the AI like a normal game...... just stop bud.
It's good news after the game's recent delay

^^^ Thats called fraud bud. 6 months later and the game still runs like shit is not "fine". Hiding reviews on those platforms shows they knew it wasn't presentable, they didn't even want reviewers to show the game which shows they KNEW something was not correct, yet took consumers money and took investor money based on a day 1 patch lie and "running fine" lie that every fucking month that goes by shows it was not simply a day 1 patch or a few fixes.
What major AAA single player game you seen come out last year, that is still waiting to be actually "done" to be playable with basic features? Thats like saying Ubisoft is patching Watchdogs 3 still and cop chases "might" come ending of this year.......this is not normal my friend.
Its why you are having a hard ass time finding anything that even remotely fits this mess.
