In a world where what is published on the networks does not disappear, spoilers are a real danger for those who want to enjoy the experience that creatives have designed, without being contaminated by what may have leaked. It hurts even more when these spoilers affect products as expected The Last of Us Part II: The title of Naughty Dog has suffered a massive leak, publishing videos and details of the game online. "Do your best to avoid gutting and ask that you not gut (the game) to others", Pedan from the development studio. To help you deal with this situation, We detail a whole series of plugings and recommendations to avoid reading information or watching game videos.
Plugins: Spoiler Protection 2.0 and Video Blocker for Chrome
One of the most popular recommendations when there is a large information leak with spoilers for a game is the usual one: do not enter social networks. But this type of advice sounds a bit banal, considering that we live connected through these platforms and in circumstances such as the current forties, it is even frivolous to ask users not to access their profiles. So let's skip this step and go to the important: tools that help us fight spoilers
Spoiler Protection 2.0
Is about an extension or plugin for Google Chrome or Firefox. Thanks to this tool, we can directly censor any keyword that is related to the product in question. In the case at h and, for example, we will ask Spoiler Protection 2.0
Once we establish the words that we want this plugin to hide from us, Spoiler Protection 2.0 will take care of hide the information with a huge box everything that is related to the words that we have indicated: also deals with censoring related images or thumbnails. It is downloadable here.
Video Blocker
Also available for Google Chrome and Firefox, this plugin helps us avoid watching unwanted videos. In the case of The Last of Us 2, It will hide the cinematic scenes, gameplay and other details in the form of videos that have been leaked on YouTube. You can download this extension here.
How to use social media in times of spoilers
As we have pointed out: it's difficult not to enter our profiles despite being through a storm of spoilers. So, instead of asking you not to enter, we will offer you some advices that you probably all already know, but that will serve so that you can camp at your leisure on your Twitter or Facebook profiles without fear of eating a spoiler.
The best way to avoid spoilers on these two great platforms is very simple: mute words. In the configuration of our respective profiles, we simply have to indicate to these services what terms we want them not to show us. In this situation, how the problem is related to The Last of Us 2, we can silence the following words: The Last of Us Part II, The Last of Us Part II, tlou, Ellie, Joel, Naughty Dog, The Last of Us 2, The Last of Us II, Dina, tlou 2, tlou2.
We can select how long do we want these words to be silenced But, to save us scares, we can ask Twitter and Facebook to silence these words forever, and then disable the option once you have enjoyed the game for yourself.
Over the next few days, the only thing we can recommend you to do in terms of Google searches is the obvious: not look for anything related to The Last of Us 2. In particular, avoid the image search engine: among the results, a scene may sneak in if a portal has published them without any kind of restriction.
In particular, it is highly recommended not to search for anything related to The Last of Us 2 in the next few days on the popular video platform: remember that the YouTube algorithm will inevitably recommend videos that are related to our searches. In other words: if we don't have plug-ins like Video Blocker activated, the thumbnail of some video might be enough to gut the game.
Why should spoilers not be shared? Damage and risks
Spreading spoilers can do a lot of damage: both the injured and those responsible for publishing the information. On the one hand, any leaking of actual information from a game, movie or TV series puts workers' work, effort and creative work in check – in this case, from the developers of Naughty Dog -. On the other hand, users who share confidential information about a game may end up facing legal consequences: After all, they are violating an NDA – nondisclosure agreement.
