Some players who trusted Naughty Dog despite story leaks floating around online are genuinely upset about such bait and switch. Some are even calling this an example of false advertising, given how much plot context has been altered.

Video game developers often make changes to in-game segments that are shown in trailer and such action is not surprising in case of TLoU2. Dev team for The Last of Us II has probably done this to keep potential spoilers under wrap till launch.

Players were waiting for TLoU sequel to give a proper sendoff to a beloved series character like Joel Miller but not only was he given a pathetic ending, his fake presence was shamelessly used to deceitfully hype up fans for almost no reason.

The Last of Us Part II is a long-anticipated sequel of 2013 survival horror game The Last of Us for PlayStation 3. Despite its reputation is ruined due to recent controversy, Naughty Dog is not likely to suffer from any loss of sales or whatsoever.
