Nintendo sends a cease and desist to insider that has leaked pretty much every E3 2019 announcement
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
Yeah, but it's not like she's revealing malpracitce or abuse. She's just revealing game announcements a few hours early in an un-fun way.
You might want to spoiler tag that. People are pretty antsy with E3 leaks this season, just look at this thread lol
Yeah. She's actually rather lucky only Nintendo has come after her. These are all multi billion dollar corporations we're talking about here.
For those wondering how Nintendo could have gotten her information, this is a reminder that your digital fingerprints are everywhere. All it takes is a little bit of info or one screw by you or someone else for the dominoes to fall and lead directly back to you. Her own twitter bio says that he is a Nintendo leaker so any sensible company would have at least one eye on her.
It doesn't mean anything, just that Nintendo is more likely to act on these things compared to other companies
I was thinking about that too. And then you have the lawyer saying you can reach me at this .com email address when the actual email came from a .ca address.
This story is super weird...
Thank god. Finally Nintendo C&Ds something that actually deserved it. They were being so frickin' annoying about it all too.
People seriously don't have their priorities straight when they're hyped for a text post on Twitter about E3's contents the day before E3, instead of the actual E3 presentation. "Golly gee, I can't wait to read about all the stuff they're gonna reveal instead of experiencing the reveal like it was intended". This mindset makes absolutely zero sense. It's like being hyped to read the wikipedia page for Avengers instead of seeing the trailer.
Please, stop acting like you're victims of the oppressive gaming industry ruining everyone's lives by planning their marketing surprises on their own terms instead of yours.

What do you think Miitomo was for? Nintendo also knows your favorite condiment.
Probably realized they wouldn't be able to leak Nintendo's Direct so they mention this since keeping quite wouldn't be possible since they bragged about leaking early in the week?
Corporations today have more information on you that you might be aware of.
There are ways to make it very difficult/almost impossible for someone to identify you if you know how and are very careful, but generally speaking, even if that person has the required knowledge, someone who has the personality of "I'm going to share this on discord and twitter in little bits. Watch me!" is not the kind of person that will have the discipline to never screw up while doing it.
Even if her other leaks were correct the timing of this is suspect.
What's this bit about?
What's this bit about?
To be perfectly fair, this could also be a case of Nintendo exploiting someone's relative lack of legal knowledge/expertise to intimidate them into silence. It's not like Sabi's gonna be seeking legal counsel anytime soon, y'know?
Nintendo is threatening legal issue if she proceed to leak anything later. Nintendo havent sue her (yet)
Why do we have all of these people coming out of the wood work acting like all marketing is suddenly pure performance art and we should never question or spoil any of it?
To hell with that, marketing exists for no other reason than to emotionally and psychologically manipulate people into spending money. Let it leak, let everything leak, maybe then people will be better able to make informed and rational decisions.
Yeah but imma ruin one of them
Nintendo is funding Dino Crisis 4, console exclusive, Capcom will publish a pc version though
Dont ask for proof, just trust me brehs
Never even mentioned freedom of speech, so dunno where you're going with that angle. Journalists aren't bound by NDA.
To be fair I bet the Avengers wiki is better than the actual film.
In a now-deleted Tweet, she invited people to DM her for leaks. They're just joking about having Nintendo employees DM her and seeing if she even notices.
Anyway, just a few hours ago she was expressing hope at contacting her source tomorrow for Nintendo leaks. But the lawyer's email mentions they talked yesterday?
yeah getting some serious /r/hailcorporate vibes from people here. Corporations are not your friends people.
She's not a fake leaker, she's a dumb one.
But she isn't a journalist?
Imagine putting your job on the line (over something unimportant like marketing materials) just for someone to get an online ego boost. The mind boggles.
*sob* Wont somebody please think of the poor corporations? What bollocks, people are free to experience news how they chose not how marketing departments choose.
She includes journalist in her Twitter bio, therefore she must be a journalist.
