He might have nothing to lose. I'm taking a guess from the context here that this was a video sent to some journalists so they could have articles written right after the show. Sounds like Tom wasn't on the in list to get the video anyway.Way I see it, leaks for something literally getting announced within less than a week are just sad and pointless.
It's totally within Tom Henderson's right to keep the article up as he signed no NDA, but he probably burned bridges with Koji Pro, the publisher, and Geoff Keighley probably.
highly doubt he caresbut he probably burned bridges with Koji Pro, the publisher, and Geoff Keighley.
To burn bridges, there need to be bridges to begin with.Way I see it, leaks for something literally getting announced within less than a week are just sad and pointless.

Does Tom just leaks stuff that is under embargo?
or he leaks stuff that is far away?
I remenber him leaking some studio announcement 1 hour before the embargo was lifted.
*Ricky Gervais oooh you're hard gif*
It's a W for his credibility but yeah. It's corny.Maybe it's just me but I'm picking up a bit of smugness in that follow up tweet that I really don't care for.
Needed a *removes sunglasses* thrown in between the 2 lines.Maybe it's just me but I'm picking up a bit of smugness in that follow up tweet that I really don't care for.
lol
They just confirmed the game is real.
Either way, i can see Tom getting sued over the article
Yeah, little bit. But I guess if I were a games news person and had posted something and was then contacted privately by a company to remove it, I would probably announce that they had contacted me. That part seems reasonable.Maybe it's just me but I'm picking up a bit of smugness in that follow up tweet that I really don't care for.
Idk, if i was in KJP/Sony position i would probably be pissed enough with the leak to try at least a DMCA.
If they were smart they wouldve just ignored it. Directly contacting tom literally just confirms that what he said is true.Idk, if i was in KJP/Sony position i would probably be pissed enough with the leak to try at least a DMCA.

He didn't post any images, music or other material from the game. There's no grounds for a DMCA.
Edit: Also, Sony? I don't think they were mentioned where they?
Never understand being upset at leaks. Guy is doing his job. Guess corporations should just control all messaging. Only post what they want you to.

I doubt we need to tell lawyers and PR professionals how to do their job. If they contacted this person to take down the article it's because they believe they have some ground on that and of course it's not in the hoe that said person is going to run to Twitter the following second like "guys they told me to take it down and I said no".If they were smart they wouldve just ignored it. Directly contacting tom literally just confirms that what he said is true.

There's a right way to leak (Jason Scheier, where the leak is tied to news), and a wrong way to leak (just for clout). Leaks don't necessarily bother me but I get it, a lot of people do put a lot of their time and effort to keep it under wraps and have a fun reveal.Never understand being upset at leaks.

As Jason Shrier himself said, leaks like this are something he himself has stopped engaging in.Never understand being upset at leaks. Guy is doing his job. Guess corporations should just control all messaging. Only post what they want you to.
I did not know the logo for this game was leaked by an exclusive Xbox youtuber. Maybe it's fake, but the other leaker got the upside down red triangle right. And the news broke around the same time.

Companies want to control the messaging behind the product they've spent/will spend years with? Especially Kojima who may have a neat/different way to show the game that could generate more buzz.
Surprise isn't a good enough reason to stop someone from doing their job.As Jason Shrier himself said, leaks like this are something he himself has stopped engaging in.
There is literally nothing beneficial to the consumer about leaking an announcement happening in a week or so, except to ruin the surprise. There was 0 else of substance in the leak. No insight corporations don't want us to know, nothing.
He follows up with this but like… why tweet at all if you aren't referring to something specific
the phone thing is throwing me off. all of this sounds weird.This person claims that he have seen a whole gameplay of the game, and that there is more than one video walkthrough of the game.
- All the videos are of people playing the game on mobiles.
- It takes place in a abandoned factory.
- He think that this is an Apple Arcade game or an Xbox game played through cloud.
- Also says that he would be surprise is it's a mobile game, because it looks really good graphically.
- The gameplay he have saw is third person.
- He says that it doesn't look similar to P.T or Silent Hill.
All this comes from here (Spanish video):
- YouTube

I know. I'm just saying I don't like it and don't benefit from it (in this particular case).Surprise isn't a good enough reason to stop someone from doing their job.
Yep. "the right way" just sounds so funny.I get where you're coming from but that designation seems arbitrary to me.

It looks like they are leaking articles from some kind of a news terminal. It's some kind of leak for sure, but it's still the info which was intended to get out set with an embargo for maximum effect.I know it's how these people make their money but in the past few years I've seen some of the most pointless leaks ever.
Of course they want to control the messaging surrounding their investment. But if a journalist gets hold of that information, they have every right to do their job and report it.
