Sequel[edit]
There seems to be a bit of edit warring going on over the issue of whether or not there should be a sequel section on this article. I noted in the edit summary to please bring up the topic here on the talk page, but my comment has been ignored. User:Rhain claims that Neil Druckman is not a reliable source to cite regarding information he shared about a possible sequel to the game. They also claim that the information is a "throwaway I've thought about it comment" which seems to indicate that they didn't consult the source, since this is not true per Druckman's comments. Rhain's assertion that the information is "Unnecessary and not notable" is their own POV, violating Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. Recommend a third party review the addition to weigh in per WP:3O. —scarecroe (talk) 23:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- I agree with Rhain that it doesn't seem like a major element worthy of inclusion here, at least not its own subsection, per WP:DUE. Feels speculative and inconsequential at this point. Popcornfud (talk) 23:44, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- It also seems that you don't really understand WP:NPOV, which doesn't prevent editors from having opinions about how articles should be written. Popcornfud (talk) 23:45, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed with Rhain on this, it would be indiscriminate to list everything Neil or similar says about a potential sequel. Wait until official confirmation, then note it. Also, you can't just note in an edit summary to come here and expect that to not be "ignored", the WP:ONUS is on you as supporting inclusion of content to gain consensus for it, plus going against the WP:STATUSQUO. Thanks, Indagate (talk) 09:31, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Some of the moderation here is bizarre.....
- There's a handful of other videogames & films w/ a "potential sequel" tab, so why can't TLOU2 get that luxury? 2601:1C2:1500:5190:2079:E15C:3EB0:9A64 (talk) 19:32, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
Audience and developer response[edit]
@SuperSalamander5434: In the interest of avoiding more edit warring, please feel free to voice your issues with the article's content here. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Legacy[edit]
@GylonVisagie: I know you're not a fan of this article's Legacy section (or me), but in light of these recent edits, please share your specific concerns here. The section is consistent with the first game and the Manual of Style, so I think its inclusion here is logical. These edits also introduced several formatting errors and removed about a dozen references. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
