Wonder if it could have been a simple hack. The home networks are likely less secure than what ND has at their office

Security breach probably. Makes it easier when people are working from home.
Umm.. not how that works.
If they were offered NDA, they refused to sign and Sony still gave them material then there is nothing illegal about accessing it. That would be on Sony.

Imagine trying to talk criminalty right, which leaded as follew up that the alt right uses to harres devs. Which doesn't make any of you guys better than the average 4chan poster. If you feel so much this way, why not directly show who you guys are and post nazi meme's like on 4chan.
It will be interesting to see what they would actually be responsible for under criminal or civil law. I imagine a lot will be based on through which relationship that they obtained access to the game/story. Did they sign an NDA? Did the company they work/worked for sign an NDA? They will at minimum be blacklisted from Sony related events, and will certainly lose their job if they got access to the game through their employer. Not sure what a civil suit will do to the individual, but maybe a civil suit against their employer
Great! Lets hope this can discourage people from doing so again.
Now lets hope that no-one uses the disinformation posted on Reddit as an excuse to downplay the very real accusations and stories in regads to how ND treats its employees...
...who am I kidding of course that won't happen lol

Really dude? You think being eaten alive by bugs is equitable punishment for leaking a game?
Yikes.
Glad they were found. Let this be a deterrent to anyone else thinking about pulling these stunts.
yerp pretty much, everyone's gotta get a word in and take it from 0 to 11. It's good that the person was caught, but you'd think this forum wants him and his family dead.
You're saying that as if that is something Sony would do. "Oh you don't want to sign? Ok no worries, here go debug the game we expect to sell 10 million copies of this year"
Honestly, I've seen this take several times on this forum so that's just how it came across.
That said, I'll give the poster the benefit of the doubt not that they care. After all, this is just a video game forum, right /s.
:)
Interesting if it were a security breach. Could it be from an employee's personal computer since they are working from home?
There's a difference between acknowledging the consequences of one's actions and actively gaining pleasure through mob revelry and shouting from the roof that you hope for the most dire outcome possible.
This shouldn't require further explanation because it's dead simple.
See, no. This is the problem. He commented on the rumors and said himself that he doesn't know. But almost everyone ignores the second part and just assumed that he was reporting a scoop when he was just giving his thoughts on the rumor.
Obviously one bad egg etc etc, but a inside leak from someone at ND seemed ridiculous to me anyway, since they poured so much work and passion into it, why would they want that ruined for thousands and spoiled.
Definitely just some ahole on the internet who got an early copy or script or access to ND/Sony computers and leaked it.

Sony ninjas on their Ghost of Tsushima shit
Joking aside, I can guarantee if I had done this and got caught, I'd be regretting it because now I'm gonna be sued out my ass. Hope this is a good lesson for would be leakers: its never worth it.

The ultimate question. Stolen which would be illegal, shared by someone affiliated with the project? It's not gonna end well anyway and the damage is already done.
