This alternate version of the song became a huge hit after its usage in the game and provided quite an emotional backing to the character.Speaking about the scene, YouTuber JaviScript said:"This moment was so magical to me ... I could feel how the love between Ellie and Dina was starting to grow. A game never made me feel this way, and this was only the beginning of it."So, it is only natural that the gamer community feels even more drawn to the upcoming HBO adaptation of The Last of Us after the use of the song in the trailer. In reality, this was quite a clever gimmick to make an impact among fans as well as potential viewers. As is evident from the reactions on social media, it has worked quite wonderfully.becs@becleigh23using take on me in the last of us trailer was a choice. a reaaaally reallly sick one1using take on me in the last of us trailer was a choice. a reaaaally reallly sick one https://t.co/T2rjh1i4Qedarragh🎄@darragh_scTAKE ON ME???
