Part 5/9:
Adding a layer to the controversy, Ryan points out the involvement of former Naughty Dog employee Angel Garcia, now associated with PlayStation, who reportedly requested the removal of a meme featuring The Last of Us content. This meme, which parodied or referenced the game, was flagged after Garcia's intervention, raising questions about the motivations behind such takedowns.
Ryan also mentions Neil Cockman, another former Naughty Dog employee, who allegedly pressured Sony to remove certain leaks and content from social media platforms. These actions suggest a concerted effort from insiders to control the narrative and limit leaks, rather than simply defend intellectual property.
