Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the franchise. The creator noted that if developers want to pour their life experiences into their work, they should do it with new IPs and characters.

Dawg where have I claimed to be an original creator of the franchise? You're being koo koo for cocoa puffs right now lmao. And the writers didn't destroy anything. The original games are still there. If Jaffe wanted the new games to be different, if he wanted to preserve his "original intent", he should have written them himself.

Jaffe writing the original story doesn't give him the power to dictate how new stories based on his work are written, and that's objective reality, not whatever fantasyland you're living in.

When your dumbass looked at me telling you you can't just do whatever you want, and you responded, "Actually yes, I can". Like a fucking child.

When you devolve into insults instead of responding with anything substantive because you know I am right and you are wrong.

And when deep down inside you felt the pit in your heart grow like a fucking maw when confronted with the fact that reality exists independently of your whim and whimsy.

Now you don't get a say in what is canon and what is not. Only original creators can do that. Other people's works are derivatives at best. That's the reality you have to learn to accept because reality won't change simply because you don't like it.

Now when you grow up and actually become an adult, we can continue this conversation. I am not gonna waste any more time arguing with a child.
