Part 7/12:
The War Against Critics and Independent Media
An ongoing theme throughout Ryan’s discussion is how Sony and Naughty Dog are actively attempting to silence critics, including independent journalists and YouTubers. He narrates a specific incident where Stephanie, a Twitter user critical of Naughty Dog, had her account limited after publicly opposing Druckmann’s actions. Ryan interprets this as censorship, especially given how Druckmann’s team appears to be suppressing dissent by limiting engagement and hiding critical comments.
