Last week portal One angry gamer reported that the YouTube video under the pseudonym appabend was blocked for using the meme on The Last of Us Part II, created on the basis of a frame from leaked story clips.
The next day already One Angry Gamer received a notification from Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) lawyers requesting you remove the infringing image.
The meme shows the heroine of The Last of Us Part II named Abby (she was in game trailer from Paris Games Week 2017), stylized as a character from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Senator Armstrong.
The creator of the image decided to make fun of the heroine’s athleticism: on the frame from the leak, Abby appears in a not very feminine form. We will not publish a meme to avoid spoilers: whoever wants to can take a look in the microblog appabend.

Regarding the appeal of SIE, the Japanese platform holder believes that One Angry Gamer does not have the rights to the image modified for humorous purposes, but still not allowed for distribution.
The Japanese company’s efforts to deal with the consequences of leaks from The Last of Us Part II videos are not surprising. For the same purposes, for example, under the latest video about the game comments have been disabled.
The release of The Last of Us Part II is expected on June 19 exclusively on the PS4. By mid-April hacker group got access to videos posted on the Naughty Dog server and posted them for all to see.
