Part 5/12:
Ryan delves into allegations about working conditions and misconduct at Naughty Dog, citing multiple sources and personal testimonies. He references leaked screenshots and reports describing threats from Naughty Dog management—such as withholding pay unless employees signed non-disclosure agreements—and existing claims of sexual harassment by studio leads. These accounts paint a picture of a toxic environment, which, according to Ryan, could have created a climate conducive to leaks or internal dissent.
Furthermore, Ryan highlights comments from former employees recounting harassment and unsafe working conditions, implying that these grievances are part of a broader pattern at Naughty Dog and Sony.
