Of all games though, this the one that should be released in the middle of a pandemic.

Thematically it fits. The reality is that physical copy sales are still the bulk of console game revenue. It's currently hard to manufacture physical copies, so they'd probably miss out on a lot of full price sales.
If they do a digital only launch and physical launch later, I can easily see a vocal contingent who wanted physical boycotting the game until it's on sale for a discount.

They are missing a great marketing opportunity - delivery only, because of the pandemic, and special "survivor pack" editions.

It's making a point about the cycle of violence and stuff. You know the scene from Austin Powers where a henchman gets killed and they then cut away to the henchman's family getting the news about his death? Kind of like that, but with more gore.

Man, that's so old hat now. What we need is a next-gen reimagining. I'm thinking like Days Gone, but around a bicycle of violence. Yanno. Tearin' up the road. Tearin' up people. Tearin' up the concept of abstract metaphors.
Anyway, I think it's interesting that they're essentially pushing Ellie down the same path Joel went, and from a bird's eye view, no one seems to have learned or taken heed of any lessons from that.

Really enjoying the new game so far, it's more of the same (that's a good thing btw), with a few enhancements, and the environments seems much larger and more detailed. I won't give anything significant away but I will say I've already seen a Deus Ex and a Shining reference.

Yeah I also started playing it today. The story follows from the first game in a very natural way. I'm digging the storytelling and there's a lot of great character moments so far. Currently doing an open-world bit that plays a lot like Uncharted: Lost Legacy.
