If there were no leaks then video game bloggers would have little to write about, what about their livelihoods or are devs holier than thou?
Nintendo sends a cease and desist to insider that has leaked pretty much every E3 2019 announcement

The point isn't that you could read a thread in between two replies, it's that you should read the thread before posting the second reply at all ;)
And those are legitimately good questions you should bring up to developers, maybe shoot a post in the thread.
I wasn't trying to provide evidence, I was explaining why your mandate for evidence is BS. People are allowed to speculate without providing evidence.
Cooperations are made out of people too. A great example of this is last year's Smash Ultimate's tag, "Everyone's Here!". Sakurai talked about how he and his team went out of their way to make sure that everyone was back didn't leaked since it completely ruined the surprise and one of the main draw of the game, and how thankful he was that it didn't leaked. So from a human preparative, leaks hurt and suck. It's like going out of your way to buy this great Christmas present, only to learned that the child saw the gift ahead of time.
Well, this isn't watergate lol. If she's just a random person who happens to know things, it's really not worth the trouble of even flirting with the idea of legal consequences. God bless her, she's not exactly engaged in a noble venture here
If this is the case, then Resetera should stop the posting of leaks on here if its such a bad thing. But they won't because we like to talk about them.
That's not true at all though? They can write about stuff that is revealed. I'm sure it's a very small minority of blogposts that are about unrevealed things lmao.
Why should one person have a job that hurts another's?
The problem isn't even journalists, it's people breaking NDA to leak from within or leakers breaking laws to get Info
So you're just kinda flinging bad takes at the wall and seeing who bites huh.
No, fuck that noise. If it's news I'm getting anyway and they're not time-critical, I'd rather there be a show and spectacle attached to it. I'd rather be excited and surprised.
Also, as someone who enjoys seeing other people's reactions to exciting news, nothing sucks more than those reactions being "yeah we knew that" and "hey this was in that leak".
The curiosity got the best of me after seeing 10 pages of arguments as to what exactly these leaks were about, and yeah,
Something about this kinda seems iffy to me though, and that's about all the input I can give on this situation... just an overall feeling of iffiness.
very lackluster announcements if true.

You’re talking about a game on my top 3 of games I look the most forward to here.
No, people seem to have a hard on for devs but when it comes to people reporting they usually get thrown under a bus.
Yep.
I randomly watched a couple of reactions to the Pokémon Direct. Unfortunately main elements of the Direct leaked the day before. Some of the reactions, rather than being filled with shock and wonder were "Oh just like in the leak".
Whenever I posted about a Mythical Pokémon, it was all "We know this already" "I have one" etc.
No, it can't. No false claims have been made, and I think you're a little confused on how defamation actually works.
Why are video game leaks different to any other type of leak? Seriously, what is the difference?
EDIT: 99% chance I saw the incorrect leaks not related to the person mentioned in OP, my bad.

I'm not really joking, to be honest, and suggesting that if she does notice it'd be more beneficial for Nintendo. She clearly hasn't considered Nintendo employees DMing her if she put that tweet out; getting a DM from an obvious Nintendo employee might get her to realize and stop her from DMing leaks to anyone.
Sorry, didn't realize I hadn't explained that properly.
If thats the best you can offer as an argument then I don't know what else to offer.
It feels like her or the source are working inside E3 itself.
Not to downplay anyone's career, but to me as a consumer I care more about the developers, since they are the ones actually making the product, over reporters, who don't contribute to the making of said stuff.
I used to love leaks until the Ryu for Smash leak happened and that kinda killed my hype because all the build-up to the reveal was me going "Just reveal him already!"
So now I go out of my way to avoid leaks, it is more exciting that way, I don't need to know.

I mean, I can be obnoxiously obtuse like you if I wanted, but I don't feel the need to do that like your whole history in this topic.
There's ways you can be sneaky with leaks. Dumping tons of shit under NDA is gonna get you in trouble. Like it or not, that's the reality of things. A lot of stuff was known from the MS conference, neither of which (apart from Bleeding Edge) came from direct leaks - insiders, people in the know have placed hints here and there which made us assume. It's largely different tbh.
Well for one thing it would take at least a month for this response. I’m sure you can extrapolate the cadence from there.
I mean...it ain't like Video Game Bloggers have much of a leg to stand on with or without leaks. It's a dying business and most have already adapted to fit the new market. Leaks or its lack ain't going to be the final nail in the coffin.
Might just work at E3 in some capacity. There would be people who would see booth floor plans and what not. It is bizarre though, I agree.
Ahh, as I said I could've seen the wrong leaks, but to be safe I spoiler tagged it to not ruin it for anyone who wants it kept a surprise.
Wouldn't a retailer contact with access to full inventory databases or having access themselves be the only way? That's the only place I think all this information would be grouped together ahead of time.
This is my reason for being against leaks, especially in this case where we only need to wait roughly 24 hours, is that I don't want to read the games I want to see them. Now even if I don't go on social media anymore I still use YouTube and you know their algorithm will put some idiot making a video with a title and thumbnail about said leak in my reccommendations feed. I shouldn't have to sacrifice internet access for two days because some asshole wants internet cred for 5 minutes while people lose jobs and money to boot. Not even talking about the big corporations. Besides what's so exciting about a text dump? I want to see the trailers how they were meant to be seen. Go ahead and call me a corporations defender or spoiler phobe but I enjoy the directs and would rather see it instead of a boring text dump.
I'm really just letting you know so you know they're not necessarily coming yourself. I understand, though.
I... Actually didn’t see the post with the link to the thread before I posted the first reply.
