Part 2/9:
Ryan begins by expressing his longstanding frustration with Naughty Dog, particularly regarding how The Last of Us Part II was marketed. He claims that Sony and Naughty Dog engaged in false advertising to boost sales by hiding the game's significant focus on characters like Abby, which was a stark departure from the first game’s emphasis on the Joel-Ellie relationship. This alleged misrepresentation was intended to attract fans based on expectations that were ultimately unmet.
He also condemns what he describes as the illegal classification of copyright strikes and the abuse of the DMCA system by Sony and Naughty Dog to silence critics, including YouTubers and content creators, emphasizing a pattern of censorship aimed at protecting their reputation while suppressing negative opinions.
