Thesis
The speaker expresses shock that game journalists are praising "Ghost of Yote," suggesting a coordinated effort to improve the game's image. He points out the high number of reviews compared to other AAA titles like "Borderlands 4" and "Silent Hill F," implying that journalists are pushing a specific narrative. He contrasts this with the low review count for "Lollipop Chainsaw Repop," which he claims journalists disliked due to its fan service and attractive female character. He suggests Sony may have sought help from game journalists to promote "Ghost of Yote" after a controversy involving Sucker Punch. Despite this, Sony didn't mention the game during their PlayStation State of Play, indicating potential concerns about its reception in the American market.

Ghost of Yotei is still struggling
The speaker discusses the ongoing controversy surrounding "Ghost of Yote," noting that trailers for the game have faced negative reactions. He observes that while initial outrage may have faded slightly, the game is still facing challenges. He points out that a recent features trailer has garnered views but is showing signs of being "ratioed" (more dislikes than likes). Sony's decision to exclude the game from their State of Play event indicates that it is considered "damaged goods" with slumping sales. The speaker references his contacts in retail, who provide data on pre-order numbers, and notes that "Ghost of Yote" had 71 copies sold with 27 refunds, lagging behind "Dragon Age: The Veilgard." It's also significantly behind "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2," which sold 220 pre-orders in the same retail stores a week before release. The speaker expresses his opposition to supporting the game due to the involvement of Erica Isi, whom he describes as an activist promoting certain ideologies.
