Part of it is down to the culture of all corporations being bad that people propagate, forgetting people work in them and get reprecussions of it.

That is also true, I am not really even pro leaker per say. I just think that with the industry the way it is, they are a fact of life that people are just going to have to deal with, pro or anti. They are a problem of corporate creation and it probably only be solved by systemic corporate changes.
Heck, if we gamers want to take on some personal responsibility, they could also not freak out so much about delays and dev changes and just frankly be more understanding about how the damn process works haha.
Maybe sharing company secrets second hand, while knowing they are company secrets is illegal? Not a lawyer but that would make sense to me.
Keep the companies in check? Do you hear yourself?
Companies aren't evil people we need to make sure are doing things as we see fit. In this industry they're companies made up of passionate people who put their heart and soul into things who then suffer the reprecussions when people wanting Twitter clout spoil it.
Can someone explain to me the value in leaking things moments before the actual events take place? Seems utterly pointless to me.
Welcome to the site, by the way.
You need some kinda avatar and you should post more. Era doesn't bite. Wellllllll.... most of us doesn't bite.
Just sayin'. Lol
I guess I can't see how someone on twitter saying that they'll show Mario 22 ruins anyone's passionate work
Because you're unfamiliar with consequences that happen due to leaks
More like these consequences that apparently exist shouldn't exist in the first place.
Perhaps, but we're not in super happy fun land. We're in the real world where things where money is involved affect things
I've lurked without an accout for a long time haha, its a fun place, i like it here. Its all in good fun for the most part.
What a brave and honourable soul. Sticking it to the corporations and looking out for the little guy. He's like a modern day Robin Hood or something.
They're taking down the system, man!

Yeah I mean, I like some leaks, but this was just too much. And all just before the conferences like a big wet fart.
Hahahah you was lurking, huh? Was this leak fiasco the breaking point for you?
The threads are always full of delusional people. The devs are almost never in charge of marketing a game. Publishers and marketing are the ones that hype tiny things into something that is worthy of leaking. They don't want leaks but only so they can control what you want from a game.
You people are OBSESSED with a value that not everyone cares about. How can you think that an initial reveal is worthy or so much

No way, how can that be read as sarcastic in any way?
She is blatantly internet fame hunting but she's still not capitalizing it the right way.
IF I WAS HER....
I'd be like, "hey guys... check out my own art/music/stories" I'd start plugging my own material for the leaks. Lmao
Please read this thread before you continue to call people "delusional." Or, hell, admit that you think the many Verified (and un-verified) developers in that thread are "delusional," in your eyes.
I hope she gets caught. Seriously, what a kid. And no I dont care that she has an account here and is likely reading this.
Maybe your not delusional, in that case it should be easy to address my arguments rather than point me to a thread with a Mario pissing meme on the first page.
it was the first thread i thought i had something to say. I mostly just signed up when i did because i really wanted to do the 52 games in one year challenge, and finally got around to writing down everything.
"Someone posted a meme and I decided not to read your counter-argument so you're wrong!"
Holy shit lol
Read the damned thread. It's filled with game developers sharing what actually happens within companies when leaks happen
....
I'm not even gonna die on this hill but lemme just say that FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER ALOT. And sometimes a leak can make a project sound super dumb and put a poor taste in people's minds before they even see it for themselves. Backpedaling from a bad first impression is hard.... especially in dating.
Why are you more interested in doing this, whatever this is, rather than either, moving on with your day or adding to the discussion.
How am I supposed to parse that thread for info.
By the way I just want to point out that she tells people she's gonna leak by pm on discord yet publicly has her discord join link on twitter...... I'm convinced this is a ruse. Nobody could actually be that stupid surely. Private messages aren't so private on social media and people can leak her info under pretend personalities.
I suppose the real tea is that capitalism just kinda sucks haha. Though thats probably far too heavy to bring into this leak disscusion
They're called whistleblower and they're supposed to be protected under law, although even that has been under attack lately.
Tryna see which avatar you like, huh? You went from a card avatar to something different....
Muahahahahahahahahah!!! I SEE ALL
You called people delusional.
I gave a counter-example and you immediately threw it away because you're too lazy to scroll down and see the DICE developer literally a few posts away from the "Pissing Mario" meme that offended your sensibilities. I'm not doing the job of reading the thread for you lol, especially when so many of the devs that posted there are Verified and therefore have easily-recognisable blue tags.

First impression don't mean shit to me. I need to know way more about something before I begin to like it and the whims of a marketing team or even straight up the director/developer/auteur are not going to sway me in any direction that matters to me. I get why someone would value the first impression but they share the same values of a 5-year-old who is amazed by any piece of marketing so sorry if I don't appreciate you deciding what my values are.
Guy, you aren't interested in talking, so move on. Why do you think you could compel me to make your argument for you? I'll be as generous to your point as to further any discussion but I won't look for your arguments for you.
Hahahahahah I loooovveeee this. So much sass and edge. I'm not even annoyed by the 5 year old jab. I'm actually smiling. This is kinda fun.
This, and clicks if you work for a gaming website. Leaks bring TONS of clicks. Other than those though, it really isn't any point. Leaking some video game announcement a little bit before its broadcast to the world doesn't really have much if any value at all. I like a good natured crusade as much as the next guy, But I just can't get with the "Yeah, we are fighting the good fight to make the world a better place by telling you about Mario Kart 10 a day ahead of time! Take THAT billion dollar corporations! The machine can't control me!".
It's just too ridiculous.
a whistleblower is someone who divulges information about illegal/unethical activites, not company secrets holy shit.
