Part 5/8:
Ryan did not shy away from criticizing Naughty Dog and Sony, accusing them of intentionally using copyright systems to stifle free speech and criticism. He argued that this tactic is counterproductive, especially considering the nascent backlash against The Last of Us Part 2 and Naughty Dog’s handling of the leaks. He feels this heavy-handed approach pushes more viewers and content creators to speak out, thus amplifying the controversy and potentially damaging the company’s reputation further.
He also referenced a misleading article by Sammy Barker, warning fans not to believe everything they read about Naughty Dog at this time, implying that the company is up to questionable practices.
