People getting angry about playing as Abby is very interesting because we've never seen discourse around "I don't want to spend time with and play as this character because he/she pissed me off".
Videogames aren't like movies or TV where you're always chaperoned from one character / scene to the next. You feel all the dread, anger, sadness, and successes the characters feel because they force you to live as them and stew as them, literally walking in their shoes. You're forced to assume attachment because you're invested in their survival through every gunfight or brawl. ND taking advantage of the videogame medium and emotionally manipulating the audience is a thorough ass move. I think most players felt discomfort having to play as Abby moments after she kills Jesse, but that's the whole point. At first you're thinking fukk this bytch, until you slowly get to understand her character.
