The games, while violent, really aren\\\'t any worse than literally any other video game with enemy mooks or action-adventure films that inspired it; the \\\"common criticism of the video games, even by many fans\\\" is actually a \\\'\\\'meme\\\'\\\' among the fanbase at Nate being a MemeticPsychopath, but its not something that\\\'s taken particularly seriously.

I\\\'ve not actually seen anyone praise the film for this, nor them specify they made this change because of the aforementioned criticism of the games. In fact I\\\'ve experienced the opposite; fans of the games seem annoyed that the movie whitewashed Nathan\\\'s actions in order to make him less of an antihero and better suit the casting of Tom Holland (who is most famous for playing good guy Peter Parker, in what\\\'s Sony\\\'s biggest cash-cow).

In that regard I don\\\'t think this is an AuthorsSavingThrow. In fact it\\\'s probably a case of TheyChangedItNowItSucks.

I \\\'\\\'will\\\'\\\' concede however that my experience is probably not universal and I\\\'ve seen Tom Holland\\\'s fanbase jump through hoops to defend it\\\'s other changes, so I can imagine \\\'\\\'someone\\\'\\\' thinking this, so it might be more appropriate under BrokenBase when that\\\'s OK to add.
