druckmann's worshipped for the same reason rian johnson is: slavish terminally-online mental patients want a representative/champion/figurehead against normalcy (tho RJ at least has some good visual sense even if his writing is worse than that of a lead-poisoned lobotomy patient)

ppl latch onto druckmann's dogshit as a social signal, nothing more. "I'm into games for grownups that care abt art" "I understand art" "I'm a part of the playstation family" "I'm a good ally and I love games that make the world a better place" it's all j dull social posturing.

to be clear, TLOU2 isn't high art, it isn't even passable art, and if you earnestly feel like it's anything other than unmitigated dogshit, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
