Intergalactic is on fire. After two weeks, criticism of Naughty Dog's trailer has not subsided

The unveiling of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet at The Game Awards generated immediate buzz, quickly followed by intense backlash. The controversy stems from the game's protagonist and themes, which some critics allege promote a specific "agenda."

Neil Druckmann and Tati Gabriel's attempts to defend the game only fueled the fire, escalating the controversy. Even after 17 days, the criticism persists. The announcement trailer polarized viewers, garnering a staggering number of dislikes on YouTube – over 260,000 on the official PlayStation channel, dwarfing the 90,000 likes. The Naughty Dog channel fared similarly, with over 170,000 dislikes versus 70,000 likes. Comments were subsequently disabled, but the debate rages on across social media.

However, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet's future remains uncertain. Naughty Dog's history demonstrates a capacity to transform initial criticism into triumph. The game still has the potential to defy expectations.

This incident underscores a significant challenge for large game studios: navigating the increasingly demanding expectations of their audience.
