Former Sony CEO Shawn Layden has liked a large number of tweets criticizing PlayStation’s leadership and the direction the
PS5 is headed in. This includes users bemoaning current Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan, with Layden seemingly in agreement with those who believe the company is not in safe hands.

It s in the practiced delivery of the jokes, in the game s well thought out pacing (getting the bigger stuff out of the way earlier, enabling a speedier finish), and in the many ways Ben and Dan, both creators and characters, poke fun at an industry they ve been a part of for many years.
