Nah, it's not really that hard.
I don't know if you'd even be able to point at a AAA video game that had the brakes put on it because people "saw a trailer for it a day before the trailer's release" or its thunder was somehow otherwise stolen. It's harder to prove this shit, and its effects are subtler than that. Leaks may mean an imperfect pitch, a bad first impression, fewer eyes on the actual marketing material. The thing doesn't doesn't get its opportunity to put its best foot forward and then... presumably sales are lost. Maybe even a lot of them. But you can't prove even a single sale that didn't happen would have otherwise been made.
Tell me mr not a developer, how toxic and shitty is gamedevelopment?
While I do agree with this, it also would be intriguing to know how this twitter person got the information
Okay.
Sabi's tweets are not the same thing as the press conferences, no. I think your own citation of Mario rabbids is a good example that the leaks and their reception were definitely NOT the same thing as the E3 Presentation.
If something getting leaked is causing this much stress and anxiety about your job security in the industry then yeah, sounds pretty bad.
What has one to do with the other? How did your question even adress anything in EVIL's post? There's nothing toxic and shitty about devs spendings years on a project and marketing of these publishers putting a huge effort into showing the dev's result of their hard work on their own terms.
I'd assume the means by which she got the info was illegally obtained, either by breaking an NDA or hacking
The information is too exact, Sabi was able to confirm every single bullet point and not just broad subject. The leading theory is that it likely came from a source that was able to bypass E3's private credentials and just spill the material into Sabi's group.
Are you an artist? That's a pretty familiar feeling for any artist that has its work released to the public. It's not outlandish to believe that a controlled message that displays your work under the best light ever is better than a shitty leaked and incomplete version of your work.
If she herself didn't break an NDA or something like that, it doesn't matter. Her source might be on the hook if discovered, not herself. It's just that Nintendo can afford to do this as she wouldn't be financially able to go through an entire trial.
I thought theft of trade secrets is another way to prosecute?
So you think it's really just a case of not using any VPN or other identity protection measures?Based on this post...
...I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo just Googled it.So lets get a quick rundown of the Sabi situation and this leak(s) that are supposed to go down
-Tells everyone when they will get their info
-Pinned tweet about where they share the info from their sources
-Mentioning other ppl's namse that have similar info
-Discord where leaks are supposed to go down is all in the social media profile too
Is this fool serious right now?? Safe to say you and your source(s)wont be around long. Stay safe out here though.....
The argument is about preventing bad impressions on an otherwise potentially great game from tarnishing it.Vague information tends to spread misinformation around if it gets out of hand.
Because one was a rumor and the other was basically a 100% success rate read off of the whole thing
