Sony's first mascot came from Naughty Dog's first game in their partnership, and it all feels even further in the past than that phrasing suggests now.
I used to rag on Crash Bandicoot pretty hard, until I found out a friend of a friend I added on Facebook actually worked at Naughty Dog and worked on the Crash series! It was a testament to what a good guy he was that he didn’t call me out for my CRASH SUCKS MARIO 64 RULES routine. Class acts at Naughty Dog.
