What makes this weird is how the game's basically already finished according to Naughty Dog insiders, which tells me that Sony's delaying it so that physical copies get high launch sales
If def all on Sony. TLOU fans come out talking about how much worth the waiy was, which leads to then getting big money from the manufactured copies, and then all the hype when award seasom rolls around (which tbh, is probably when it comes out), and then they get GoTY or something, and then comes GoTY edition and even more physical sales for Sony.
Because ND doesn't seem like the type of company that would delay a game so ckose to being done, considering that they did get a bad rep due to crunch.
