A new Twitter tool allows Naughty Dog to stop people from replying to its tweets with Last Of Us 2 spoilers.
When major plot details about The Last Of Us 2 leaked online, many became anxious about accidentally stumbling across spoilers. What didn’t help were others actively attempting to spoil it.
While developer Naughty Dog obviously never shared such details, most, if not all, of its tweets have since been met with replies filled with spoilers, making it easier for someone to accidentally learn about the game’s ending or other secret.
This isn’t necessarily a problem unique to The Last Of Us Part 2. Spoiler culture has been perpetuating for the last several years and many actively enjoy ruining big twists for people about other media, like Game Of Thrones or the Marvel movies.
However, according to IGN, Naughty Dog has begun implementing a new Twitter tool that could serve as a potential method of making sure that those not actively looking for spoilers can avoid them easier.
The tool is still in the early stages and is currently only available to a certain number of users, but what it does is allow people to choose who can reply to any tweets that are posted.
There are three options: everyone, only people you follow, or only people you mention. The last option also acts as a way to prevent anyone from replying at all, provided that you don’t actually mention another user.
It’s this last option that has allowed Naughty Dog to make it so its tweets are no longer bombarded with spoilers, with the only caveat being that those without any intentions to do so can’t respond either.
The tool is unlikely to completely eliminate spoilers on Twitter altogether, but it can make certain accounts safe to peruse again and, if made available for everyone, can protect your own account from being hit with vitriolic comments.
The Last Of Us 2 will release for PlayStation 4 on 19 June.
