    This has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve seen gamers complain about lately. Many studios have marketed like this - only Naughty Dog gets this reaction because it’s cool to hate them now I guess.

      Turtle Rock, Blizzard, and Rockstar also in this camp.

      Gamers are sick of being offered bare minimum product riding on the tailcoat of previous successes. We want new and risky titles that were works of passion.

        This meme we’re commenting on is clearly a reaction to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet which is an original IP. At the very least my comment specifically mentions Naughty Dog.

        I want original content too and find your comment agreeable but it’s not what this meme is communicating. The creator of this meme is simply coming off as whiny and saying a studio can’t take pride in its history. The artists deserve much credit and I praise the real humans that make our favorite games possible but to say a studio shouldn’t use their track record as a selling point is silly. Nobody would react this way to a FromSoft trailer saying “from the makers of Dark Souls and Bloodborne”.
