Kiphanie Radford, the attorney that is no longer with Sony (she works for Cobalt LLP) has yet to be revoked from this case, but proposed new attorneys for this are Lindsey Anne Mohle together with Senior Director Anthony Justman (who has been handling this from the start, he's also the signatory of the petition).

There you have it. Now we wait for E3... or TGS.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
'The Last Guardian' is no longer a retail game, it is a real life meta-game where we all spend hours on GAF arguing over it's corpse until we expire. In 10000000000000 years time there will still be one ardent Ueda fan (who by that time is just a brain in a jar) who refuses to accept the game is dead and has his brain-jar wired up to The Kutaragi Matrix so he can keep renewing the games trademark until the earth is destroyed. He is 'The Last Guardian'.
