True. I didn't care that he was being manipulated. He still chose that path himself, even if you were nice to him. He did shit outside of Ella's influence and legit pointed the finger at the MC just to justify his own actions. He also pieced together that Ella was fucking with him and still went along with it.I think its kind of a personal thing. Some people sympathize with how a character who has constanly been the "little guy" was given power and pushed way out of their depth kinda loses their mind and becomes exactly as toxic as the people they hated. Others don't feel anything for that arc or self identify with MC (and therefore don't care since Jake becomes your enemy regardless) or a bunch of other reasons not to get attached to Jake in a sympathetic way. People can expereince the exact same story in different ways. Its a mark of good writing on WW's part really.
And before people act like he had a gun pointed to his head, he legit did what he could've done already after you beat him. Nothing stopped him from saying no to Ella or even leaving. He already fixed Mia and could've went to search for other alternatives or to accept the MC's help. He waited until he caused all of that shit to then want to do the right thing.
So yeah, I felt no pity and I got it back in blood. He'll have to live with that regret in my memory. You don't get to toy with my life and mess with my friends just because you were being manipulated. His actions had consequences and ignoring it because Ella pushed for it doesn't make it excusable.
Don't even get it twisted, Ella is up next, too.
