@NDL08 I remember seeing a lot of screencaps about his activity and trophy rates. I mean it sort of makes sense that one of the most famous trophy hunters would receive scrutiny. From what I remember there's no question that his stats are genuine in the sense that he's actually earning the trophies and not exploiting the system (e.g. like the old "importing" a save trick), but there's quite a bit of evidence that he's not the only person playing on that account. If I recall correctly someone even did the math on a perfect play-through for some of his newly released games and it was impossible to obtain the trophies in different games in that short of time, suggesting that multiple people were playing different games under the same account. All that said, if it's really people cranking out all those trophies via legitimate means (i.e. really playing the games and unlocking the trophies properly) I still think it's impressive, insofar as achievements/trophies are impressive. Plus most of what I mention above is just what I remember from discussions elsewhere, so obviously take it all with a grain of salt.
@IamJT I haven't played Friday the 13th much myself, but a friend who used to play it a lot prior to the lawsuit affecting the updates talked about how you needed to play a minimum of 2000 games to get the platinum, and that was under the absolute best set of circumstances, so in reality it would be much much higher. Crazy stuff considering the few matches I played lasted at least 15 minutes each if not longer.
@DonJorginho My guess is that it will still drop this month. Just as a heads up though there's some salty people spreading a fake screencap from Naughty Dog's Twitter which is an edited version of their most recent post addressing racism. So if you see something claiming TLOU2 was delayed in the next few days, be sure to check official Naughty Dog sources if you aren't already.
