Part 12/13:
This exposé highlights a broader issue within the gaming industry and media: the power imbalance where large corporations manipulate narratives, silence critics, and control the flow of information. The case of The Last of Us Part II serves as a stark example of how transparency is compromised, and how independent voices like Ryan's try to hold the industry accountable despite systemic obstacles.
As the community continues to push for honesty and accountability, stories like these remind us of the ongoing need to scrutinize mainstream coverage and champion genuine, unfiltered discussions about games, industry practices, and corporate misconduct.
