Sackboy vs Astro Bot: Rematch (ft. Sacknana)

Funny robot and burlap brown knit doll have a fight again.

Great...

Some LittleBigPlanet fans express hate towards Astro Bot because they feel Sony has abandoned the LBP franchise in favor of Astro Bot as its new mascot, especially after the discontinuation of LBP3. While a small group points blame at Astro Bot for LittleBigPlanet's perceived replacement, many fans acknowledge that the hate is often directed at Sony's decisions rather than the Astro Bot games themselves.
Perceived replacement: Fans feel that Astro Bot, as a more recently successful and prominent platforming mascot for Sony, is directly replacing Sackboy and is a symptom of LBP being sidelined.
Sony's actions: The discontinuation of LittleBigPlanet 3 and the overall lack of new content for the LBP series are key points of frustration that are often misdirected at Astro Bot.
A more nuanced view: Many LittleBigPlanet fans believe that Astro Bot is a separate, creative, and fun game in its own right and that the hate is unnecessary and childish. They argue that both franchises can coexist and that it's unfair to blame Astro Bot for Sony's business decisions.
