Is Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet Prepping to FAIL?

In this video, Tati Gabrielle reveals that Neil Druckmann has been "bootcamping" her to call the audience racist and sexist when recieving criticism for Naughty Dog's next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Notes

In this video, I break down: • Tati Gabrielle says Neil Druckmann is coaching her for backlash • Naughty Dog expects criticism before release • Prepping to blame racism and sexism instead of listening to fans • Trolls exist, but they're using a small group to silence the majority • Honest feedback is being reframed as bigotry • Game developers need to adapt, not deflect • Treyarch adapted with Blackout when campaign was cut • Sabr Path adjusted after Nexus Defenders didn’t sell • Venn diagram: Want to make, Can make, Should make • Game devs must understand their audience • Intergalactic’s character design is made to provoke, not connect • 80s aesthetic targets men in their 40s–50s but alienates them • No global appeal either—not just about looks, but tone • Recurring industry pattern: blame audience (Ghostbusters, Saints Row, Forspoken) • If you're prepping blame before launch, you don't believe in your product • You want to be heard? Start by listening
