I actually got an offer that I refused, since I'm terrible at keeping secrets, if that person learned of any Zelda dlc for smash they would let me know. It's nice to be liked. Had to say no because I can not keep non horny secrets.

I can keep horny secrets though.

Real or fake, I'm probably never going to hint anything here again, and I'm pretty disappointed in the Smash community at minimum and the gaming community as a whole with the way this went down. I'm probably not going to involve myself in further discussions because of how much this soured me, which is a shame because I used to really enjoy it.

But we'll see how Era looks in 24 hours.
I hate that this happened. Your comments and hints are all interesting and being able to actually discuss with people with more insight in the industry help the discussion a lot.

I do understand why you would feel this way. Gamers suck in general, but I didn't expect the Smash fanbase to be this bad. Honestly, I think it's time to do away with "character support groups" that look more like crazy cults or gangs trying to bully anyone who disagrees with them and sharing misinformation. We had at least 2 threads with fake information trying to prop up Banjo and if anything this makes me demotivated to keep discussing Smash considering this is the level of discourse for some.

That's a shame, but I don't blame you. Even before the grinch stuff, it always seemed like leaking stuff was a thankless job at best.

That's what you should have done in the first place, even if your intentions were good it should be obvious by now that certain people deserve every bit of disappointment and frustration that they are/were going to get.

Don't blame you at all.

What a difference a decade can make. I don't remember the lead up to Brawl being this much of a shitshow. It was actually fun speculating and shit back then.

In the past I've had access to unreleased info on games, but I'd never ever hint at it for this exact reason. It's just totally not worth it in almost every case.

You will be missed. Not even talking about leaks, I've always enjoyed your posts since way back at the old place. It's always a shame to lose good members of the community, as it results in the community becoming worse. Everyone's important, and I'll miss your contributions in particular.

Yeah Smash hints/leaks aren't worth the headache
It sucks cause all you guys were trying to do everyone a service by telling them that banner was fugazi so they could keep their expectations in check
Instead of thanking you, we saw way too many people question the credibility of known insiders and media outlets. If you were attacked, I apologise cause from what I see this fanbase takes things way too far

18h left! Soon sleep for me, then up early for work, and I'll be home around half an hour before the direct. Time is going to fly by.

Being an insider or just privy to info can be a truly amazing and awful thing at the same time.

This. Honestly, people got way too pissed to learn that the grinch leak was faked and they killed the messengers repeatedly.

I think at this point I'm officially going dark and avoiding all leaks until the direct. No matter who gets announced tomorrow, who gets in and who gets deconfirmed - it's been an honor and a pleasure speculating with you all. See you on the other side o7

I don't blam you. It honestly looks like given the current age of the world, people are not trusting people who actually know what they're doing as well as why, and its seen everywhere even here. Considering it's the third incident this year, in a relative quick succession doesnt really paint a bright future for ERA and its insiders, and beyondp

Discussing the viability of an "insider" is such a boring and imprecise practice. They don't tell us enough to investigate or substantiate anything and, though I'm generally unsure why they say anything at all, discussing who is and isn't trustworthy comes across as weird and judgey. Believe them or don't, but don't think they owe you anything or that you can make some weird claim about their character.

At least with the Grinch leak, and other real/fake leaks, we can do something fun and nobody is asking us to trust them, while also kinda making fun of us when we don't.

I probably wouldn't bother hinting at stuff knowing you aren't going to provide evidence unless you have thick skin. Because then you can just not take shit personally until official information is out to prove you correct.

There are too many fakers out there for people online not to be skeptical of everything.

The only time I ever had a scoop on games was Sonic Forces which, lol, and the Mega Man anniversary collections which if I had described them on GAF the way they were described to me I would've been permafuckinbanned

Same here.

That and I'm too paranoid about getting people in trouble, I couldn't live with costing someone their job. I eventually just ended up asking the source I did have back then to just leave me out of the loop.
