OMG, can you even BELIEVE this?! 😱 Some ex-PlayStation “narrative director” (whatever THAT is) is throwing a tantrum because the “Until Dawn” movie didn’t give her and her pixel-pushing pals a shout-out in the credits. 🙄 Like, who even CARES about the GAME writers when there’s a REAL movie to watch? 🎬 Get over it, lady!
So, apparently, this Kim MacAskill person (never heard of her, tbh) is all butthurt that Sony didn’t plaster the game writers’ names all over the “Until Dawn” film. She’s even started a PETITION! ✍️ A petition! As if anyone’s going to sign that except maybe her mom and a couple of disgruntled gamers who still live in their parents’ basement. 🤣
She’s whining about how Sony, a “major conglomerate” (as if that’s a BAD thing), should acknowledge the “creative teams” behind its “intellectual properties.” 🙄 Honey, Sony’s busy raking in billions, they don’t have time to hand out participation trophies to everyone who ever wrote a line of dialogue for a video game. Grow up!
And get this, she’s actually comparing “Until Dawn” to “The Last of Us”! 🤣😂🤣 As if some cheesy teen horror game is even in the same LEAGUE as Naughty Dog’s masterpiece! Neil Druckmann gets credit because he’s a GENIUS, okay? You’re just… some person who used to work at PlayStation. Big difference. 🤷♀️
She even had the AUDACITY to say that Sony execs told her that “the IP I personally created would NEVER be credited to me.” 😭 Oh, boo-hoo! Did someone hurt your wittle feewings? Maybe you should have negotiated a better contract, sweetie. That’s how the REAL world works. 💼
But wait, there’s MORE! 🍿 She claims that the game writers “spent years breaking their brains to make something incredible.” 🤯 Seriously? Breaking their brains? All they did was write some cheesy dialogue and predictable plot twists. My grandma could write a better horror story, and she’s been dead for ten years! 💀
And now she’s trying to rally the troops, calling for everyone to “advocate not only for the ‘Until Dawn’ creators but for the integrity of the industry.” 😂 Integrity? In the video game industry? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day! 😂🤣😂
Oh, and did I mention that there are RUMORS that the “Until Dawn” remaster might be a PlayStation Plus offering soon? 🤔 Coincidence? I think NOT! Sony’s probably just trying to cash in on the movie hype. 💰 Smart move, Sony. Smart move. 🧠
But the best part is that the actual writers of the game, Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, are like, “Meh, we’re not surprised.” 😎 They’re basically saying, “Yeah, that’s showbiz, baby!” At least SOMEONE has a sense of perspective. 🙄
And then there’s this C. Robert Cargill guy, a “screenwriter and Writers Guild of America (WGA) member,” who points out that this is “common practice.” 😴 So basically, this whole petition is just a big, pointless waste of time. ⏳
So, yeah, good luck with your petition, Kim. 👍 I’m sure it’ll make a HUGE difference. NOT! 🤣 Maybe you should focus on creating something ACTUALLY incredible instead of whining about not getting enough credit for your mediocre game. Just sayin’. ✌️
