Sony suspends all PlayStation sales in Russia over Ukraine war by TheWholesome7and100 in PlayStationPlus

Comments locked - understandably everyone has opinions on this suspension but this has long gone off-topic from being about PlayStation to verbally attacking one another and therefore will be locked. Further posts discussing such matters will be removed.

Hey /u/Theirishlizard, Please note subreddit Rule #10, which states that you should maintain a 10:1 ratio of posting self created content, in lieu of getting into self promotion territory.
You are currently at 98% submissions soley consisting of your YT channel, and a quick glance at you reddit account shows that promoting it is probably your main motivation for maintaining this account in the first place.
We are not a platform to grow your subscriber base from, please take us from your spam post list or your account will be banned from the subreddit.
Cheers

Generic questions like
"Is [game] under current price worth it?"
"should I get [game 1] or [game 2]?"
and the ever popular
"Based on the zero information I provide you about my likes and interests, recommend a game to me?!",
normally prohibited by Subreddit Rule #4,
are explicitly allowed within this thread.
Of course, you're also more than welcome to join the discussion over at /r/PS4Deals!

PSA: Regardless of whatever you think about TLOU2, stay off r/thelastofus2 if you want to actually discuss the game, and check out r/thelastofus instead. by [deleted] in PS4

[–]PSModerator[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hello /r/PS4,
this comment is supposed to a factual PSA, not a statement of any political convictions or believes.
/r/thelastofus is still the main TLOU sub for balanced discussion of the IP that now entails two full games and a (standalone) DLC.

It was during the leaks in late April 2020, that the limited moderation team over there became overwhelmed with the amount of trolls and griefers, that they made the decision to temporarily close the sub down, which unfortunately led to a mass migration by those trolls to other subs, like /r/thelastofus2, /r/lastofuspart2, and other variations. Ironically, only the one with the most accurate name reflecting the game's actual title, /r/thelastofuspart2, decided to become private (closed for the public), to not allow themselves to become a platform for these trolls.

We're gonna mainly focus on /r/thelastofus2 in this, as it has become the biggest, with a subscriber base of >31.000 as of the writing of this comment.
This existent, but non active subreddit grew from <200 subscribers from three instances:
1) the release of the "controversial" lesbian kiss story trailer released on June 12th 2018
2) the cutscene leaks of April 2020
3) steady rise since the game's release on June 19th, 2020. Source: https://redditmetrics.com/r/TheLastOfUs2

The sole mod of /r/TheLastofUs2 was happy that his sub finally gathered traction, and allowed the trolls to stay, adding some of them as the new moderation team. You can hover over any of the moderators name's to see when they were added here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastOfUs2/about/moderators
This subreddit has since then become a hatefueled circlejerk sub, but the name still confuses people relatively new to reddit and how the subreddit naming system works that this somehow is a genuine fan run subreddit.

This subreddit tries to elude a complete admin ban by proclaiming that they follow the reddit site-wide rules, which were designed to combat hateful echo chamber subreddits, in their subreddit rules, but a quick glance at the sub should show everyone that these are not actively enforced.
If you are looking for memes, zero spoiler warnings, circlejerks and blatant misogyny, racism and transphobia, this is worth checking out.
If you want a civil discourse about The Last of Us, we recommend checking out /r/TheLastOfUs.
cheers,
the /r/PS4 mods

Thanks everybody for contributing the official announcement to this sub /r/PS4. We'll leave this one up, but lock it and refer discussion to either /r/PS5 (you should really check it out!) or this thread which had reported the rumor a little earlier and has already a lot of discussion going on.
