Part 4/9:
Community Reactions and Downvotes
The reaction from the gaming community was swift and hostile. The official Xbox channel's post of the gameplay segment was heavily downvoted—over 40,000 downvotes—an indication of widespread dissatisfaction. Interestingly, despite the negative response, Xbox left the post up, contrasting with Sony's previous actions: Sony's Last of Us Part 2 video had disabled like/dislike functionalities during periods of controversy, which many saw as a cowardly censorship move.
