What you can do as a fan that is healthy is hope for the stories to come. So given that nothing is confirmed and a PS5 version is only a rumor, if they were to release it I would want them to wait and release the upgrade with DLC to add new life to the game and incentivize fans to buy the PS5 disc/digital. I know what I want to see as DLC though that's more wishful thinking I know we won't get, and that's ok.

A few problems with this analysis. Games are not art, exactly. They're products sold to customers. In the old days there was an expression: the customer is always right. In this case, the game is marketed as a sequel to one of the most beloved games ever, featuring one of the most universally appreciated characters in Joel. Millions of people had played as Joel for billions of hours of gaming, and could relate to him in a way that had rarely been achieved in even the greatest games.

You replace this beloved character with one who is difficult to relate to and you're just begging for criticism because you've disappointed many customers. Once upon a time, this was a very bad marketing strategy and a dumb idea.
