In a recent interview with Game Informer, Bailey spoke about the massive backlash against Abby. No doubt it was tough to hear all that criticism, but she's been able to understand some of her experience over time. "I knew that there would be backlash for sure," Bailey explained. "I knew that I was going to get some hate. I didn't anticipate the extent."

"It was the perfect storm. I think the leaks had a lot to do with it. If your first experience with that had been in the game, and then you kept moving forward, you would have had the growth and understanding," she said of the high-profile leaks before release. "But the leaks came out a couple months in advance; you had months of people forming barriers and forming walls before they were able to understand Abby's side of it, and therefore a lot of people never were able to."
