It really all depends if Ellie in fact dies at the end. Because it’s vague with the leak it’s possible she barely lives. But to put it another way, I said it before it’s like making Halo 5 where you play as Locke and kill Chief. You don’t kill fan favourites in video games without backlash. But also the heavy implication that ND wrote off Joel because he committed the capital crime of being a straight white male. 

The leaks come from a pissed off ex-employee and we have no real context here. Sure, if they paint Addy as some savage psycho, it wouldn't make sense that she ends up killing Joel just like that, or just because he's a white male. Even I would be pissed and I'm a huge ND fan. However, I'm sure the story will be pretty great considering the creator of Chernobyl is doing a TLOU HBO series, featuring Joel and Ellie.  

The show is an adaptation and obviously would be some sort of prequel to LOU2. And while I agree Joel going out the way he does isn’t a deal breaker, it’s if Ellie dies at the hands of Abby that will cause the outrage. And while we didn’t see a definitive kill, i don’t see a reason Abby won’t finish the job.
