Notably, Sony has turned off both comments and the like/dislike buttons forThe Last of Us 2trailer on YouTube. This is likely due to themassiveLast of Us 2leakthat spoiled some of the game’s major plot points (none of which will be mentioned in this article). Since the bigLast of Usleak, trolls have been spreadingLast of Us 2story spoilers everywhere, but by disabling the comment section, Sony is at least able to keep people from getting spoilers by watching the new trailer. Meanwhile, some disgruntled fans unhappy with howThe Last of Us 2story plays out have turned on both Naughty Dog and the game itself, which is likely the reason why Sony disabled the like/dislike buttons.
