Shocked, I tell you. The Internet was lying? It can't be.

 

[Toumari]

Throw them in jail.

 

[HotHamWater]

Enjoy getting sued into oblivion.

[Bear]

Was it worth it?

 

[Strike]

Get fucked.

 

[Nintendo]

Reddit circlejerk making shit up? No way!


Anyway, fuck those individuals.

 

[Munstre]

They'll be sleeping with the fishes soon!

 

[Spring-Loaded]

But muh fanatical theory

 

[Praedyth]

What are the chances these people will be blacklisted from the Industry?

 

[anexanhume]

Schreier called it.

 

[Astandahl]

 

[Star-Lord]

Well they're fucked now

 

[Shock32]

Shocked, I tell you. The Internet was lying? It can't be.

Twitter sucks

On that note, I hope ruining their lives was worth it

 

[JamRock7]

Throw them in jail.

Click to shrink...

Yeah my video games are serious business! Lock away the key! Since they weren't an employee they weren't constrained by an NDA so they probably didn't break any laws

 

[Naga]

As expected yeah. Doubt that we'll ever know more than that, and it's fine this way.

 

[ILikeFeet]

Sony borrowed Nintendo's ninjas

Shocked, I tell you. The Internet was lying? It can't be.

Watch them now say Sony is lying.

 

[MysticGon]

Soninjas are as quick as Nintendo ninjas but they are trying their best. Those leakers will never work in the industry again regardless of their motivation.

 

[NediarPT88]

They are so fucked.

Deservedly so.

Now let's wait for the takes "it's just a videogame bro".

lol perfect

 

[GameChanger]

Hopefully they get punished severely. I hate leakers like these spoiling a game. Thankfully I haven't been spoiled. It must be extremely frustrating for developers to find out that the game they worked so hard on gets spoiled for many of their fans a few months before launch.

 

[Angie]

I hope upseting a multi billion $ conpany by leaking their biggest game was worth it.
Have fun getting sued

 

[TheModestGun]

Hmm it's almost like people shouldn't have jumped to conclusions to promote shitty agendas.

 

[IllumiNate]

So that's that

 

[cw_sasuke]

Good.
Hope they get what they deserve.

 

[Rommaz]

Yeah was probably hackers or a family member ay?

 

[learning]

wouldn't these people still have relation to the project

or did they get hacked

does anyone know anything

i bet not i guess

 

[Gravity Insanity]

"You going to jail now" Bus driver voice

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Personally, I want their identity to be revealed like Nintendo did with the Sword/Shield leaker.

 

[Jerm]

Wonder if they'll pursue any legal action.

This might be one of the first instances I can think of Jason Schreier being majorly wrong about something?

He said yesterday that it wasn't a employee

 

[CenaToon]

Time to get a reeeeeeal good lawyer son.

 

[Deleted member 18944]

Damn they're gonna get sued up the wazoo (and rightly so). Hope it was worth it? Lol

Getting intellectual property that doesn't belong to you. Pretty sure a law was broken somewhere.

 

[Kuma]

Justice is served

 

[Kayla]

Lock them up

Click to shrink...

100%, I would think.

You don't get to leak one of the biggest names in the industries biggest project in quite a while without serious consequences.

To be honest though, the blacklisting is probably going to be the least of their worries, this is going to come with serious financial consequences.

They broke even worst laws by not being employees.

 

[qatak]

So... who could this have been? Family member?

 

[Tovarisc]

Personally, I want their identity to be revealed like Nintendo did with the Sword/Shield leaker.
