Some of the mod team mentioned they'd be making a statement, but I'll also step in directly here regarding why so many people have been banned in this thread, since the mod team acts based on the core philosophies of the site, which I can help provide some perspective on.
The intent when providing someone with a NeoGAF account is for the person to contribute positively to discourse here. Almost all traffic to the site is based upon reading the news and discussions, not participation in them. When you, as one of the carefully curated participants that comprise less than 1% of NeoGAF's total traffic, can't be assed to read the thing you're reacting to with your one-line drive-by disdain based on, in many cases, a single phrase you noted in the thread title, you're not contributing positively to the discourse here in any way.
Our members post new threads about items of interest in the video game sector, and the moderators keep tabs on these and lock any threads that don't meet our criteria for relevance or quality. If a thread is open for discussion -- and in this case a pretty even-handed editorial piece from a major video game publication is being discussed -- as a participant in the thread you are more than welcome to discuss the editorial, agree with it, disagree with it, provide counter-points, etc. All of that adds value to the discussion and hopefully contributes to a quality atmosphere overall. What makes NeoGAF worse, by contrast? Visceral reactions to a phrase like "walking simulator" attached to a game you really like, by making drive-by comments about "clickbait" and how no one should provide the publication with any clicks in order to spite them and/or hopefully result in their eventual insolvency or whatever bullshit you've devised in your head to that effect.
If you have nothing to say, don't say it. If you think an article like this is not worthy of discussion, well, you're being counter-productive by replying to the thread about it, not even considering how you're explicitly breaking the rules by drive-by shitposting, since you're bumping the thing to the top of the NeoGAF thread list by making that comment, drawing more attention to it by the thousands of views each time.
No one is being banned for disagreeing with the conclusions of the editorial. The moderation team actively handling this thread is not emotionally invested in Uncharted or its perception one way or another. Anyone who might happen to be really into Uncharted 4 right now, or despise the series for whatever reason instead, would default to just staying away from the thread, or otherwise at absolute bare minimum regardless of any biases they might have consciously or subconsciously they would still vet their preliminary decisions with the entire mod team online at that moment to make sure they're not being undermined by their personal opinions when deciding how to evaluate what's taking place in here.
Understand how NeoGAF operates. Everyone on the staff takes the site's neutrality very seriously, since we intentionally integrate all platforms and games and their rabid fans in one open forum, rather than creating easy, pointless, insular comfort bubbles for everything by default.
You're not being oppressed. Uncharted is not being oppressed (the editorial isn't even anti-Uncharted, as many have pointed out). Carry on.
