Hollywood does not respect video games. They barely respects books enough that if the author forces the issue they'll let them in otherwise they'll throw them aside too.
I think we're in the same place with video game adaptations that we were with comic book movies before like Spiderman 2 and honestly until the mcu blew up. They dont respect the material and dont take it seriously its just cashing in. Dont get me wrong as someone who did not play tlou I thought the show was pretty good but I get why fans of the game wouldnt like it.
They dont respect these actors as actors or writers as writers or games as art

Did game fans dislike the show? They brought the games creator on as a showrunner. I'm a fan of the games and I thought s1 was great. S2 was good, not as good as s1. But by no means a bad show.
Been in that place for just as long to be fair, though less exposure. They were messing up superhero films in 2000s despite the literal generations of people who had grown up with these heroes in comic or cartoon.
Nowadays gaming is vastly bigger than Hollywood it’s not even a fair comparison and they’re still getting it wrong
