While many of us were far from happy about Microsoft's "acquisition" of Rise of the Tomb Raider, some took it further than others. That's the problem with having such ready access to people via the internet: it's not difficult to hunt them down and attack them when something they're involved with becomes controversial, even if the person being attacked had nothing to do with the decision. That's what happened yesterday with Tomb Raider and Rhianna Pratchett.
The new Tomb Raider game shares the same “universe” as the live-action Amazon Prime series starring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft.

Crystal Dynamics have a nearly perfect Lara Croft blueprint for Tomb Raider 12 thanks to Netflix’s Survivor and Legend characteristics.
What's gonna suck?
This is an opinion piece that has zero bearing on production of the hypothetical 12th installment of Tomb Raider.
The animated Netflix series is a sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Also, Netflix distributed this show, the company uses external production companies for most of its content. The show doesn’t provide a template for Crystal Dynamics [who was credited in production of the show], the Lara in the show is the one from the 2013 reboot series, and wasn’t reimagined for the show.
A perfect buleprint to be considered for awards you mean. Yeah, this will pander perfectly.
I dont get this... Tomb raider is no big deal to me. But if it was i recognize that id have about 2 options:
1) Buy the console and game if i want to play it bad enough.
2) Dont buy it, then it's egg on their face, they lose your business.
I don't get what the big deal, this is not a GTA, a FF, a AC, or even COD. This is not the late 90s, TR is not exactly a console defining franchise, it's a nice short term pickup for the Xbox, that's it. I think people just want to hate for the sake of boredom...
Fanboys will be fanboys. No surprise there. We saw it with the way some Xbox fanboys acted over the Destiny exclusive DLC fiasco and now we saw the Sony equivalent over this. A lot of the hate ends up being completely counter productive and irrational, targeting and attacking people that had very little to do with these exclusivity agreements anyway.
Its business. Pure and simple. I'm not saying its a good practice but some people need to wake up.
I am simply disgusted by the the way some have acted over this. To verbally attack, disparage and threaten other human beings, ones who have absolutely no say in this decision, is absolutely disgusting.
No matter what system you play on you should all be disgusted by the behavior exhibited over this news.
Since this announcement the really ugly side of gaming has been exposed. For that we should all be sad. You people who are acting this way give all of us and our beloved hobby a bad name. You should do us all a favor and stay in your basements and never come out to be with society, never post online where others may read your filth, and one day grow the F up and stop being a cancer to society.
To those that have been so viciously attacked, I, on behalf of all gamers, would like to apologize. Please rest assured that putrid minority doesn't speak for the vast majority of us. Most gamers are great, intelligent and worthwhile people. Please don't let the few scum take away from that, nor the great work that pubs and devs do to bring us these awesome games.
