Part 7/9:
Ryan emphasizes that Sucker Punch and Ghost of Tsushima have repeatedly demonstrated their respect toward consumers, offering free content and updates, which fosters loyalty and sustained sales. In contrast, Naughty Dog’s approach—highlighted by their contentious handling of TLOU2's story and minimal commitment to future updates—has alienated many fans, reflected in the game's declining sales and shelf presence. Ryan points out that TLOU2 is now sitting unsold on store shelves at deep discounts, while Ghost of Tsushima remains in demand, with stores like Best Buy pricing it higher even during Black Friday sales.
