This thread isn't about the quality or lack thereof of the game, but about an environment in which real discussion besides uncritically fawning over the game or ruthless destruction is met with paranoia and defensive behaviour. This is not a healty environment to develop the medium further. But you made your post all about the qualities of the game and putting everyone expressing even mild criticism into the box 'haters'. Which ironically proves the point of the article.

To change the direction: Do you think Jason Schreier got that much pushback over pretty unproblematic tweets because he uncovered earlier the bad working conditions of Naughty Dog employees (which sadly isn't that uncommon in the industry), or do you think that is purely coincidental?

No Neil defended a reviewer who was attacked by Jason Schreier for comparing the game to a movie, read that whole timeline and Jason acted like a petty child after being called out for his attack.

A completely ridiculous comparison, but Jim Sterling could more eloquently point that out than me:
