when you leak, you are taking away the company's rights to inform it's public of it's new product when they feel convenient, you should not be doing that, it's a game dude, it's not like the company is a big pharmaceutic hiding the cure for el cancer :v

Epic games, sues people for leaking, doesn't get sued for leaking thousands of peoples details.

Only leak I’ve ever seen with my own eyes was when steam accidentally released a screenshot of just cause 4 pre order

You guys have the idea of this video from my comment on "Leaks" marketing thing... admit it.

Always a massive relief to click a gameranx video and hear falcon instead of jake. No offense jake. But I could listen to falcon talk for ever.

Falcon..thumbs up. Rock hard delivery.

C’mon, there’s “evil corporation” and then there’s just idiots and assholes. I HATE when people intentionally leak spoilers and information early because it achieves nothing other than ruining others experiences.

Epic were alot better during the Gears of War era.

It’s not hard to leak borderlands 3 all you have to do is talk/ reminisce on old borderlands games... they are all the same. Here is a leak: CLAPTRAP will be included in borderlands 3 BOOM leaked, you will need iridium to level up BOOM leaked, all playable characters will come with unique abilities BOOM leaked

Is it me or does this suit sound drunk?

2k who already lost alot of people for border lands 3 lost even more after whaat they did to their super fan. At least they lost me.

What they did to supmatto ain't right

So basically all examples are about some (more or less) private idiots that thought they could make a name for themselves by taking other peoples intellectual property and sharing it with the world (for free)? Any single consequences was deserved. Period.

The borderlands guy was allegedly charging for the leaked docs and to his discord. That's why the discord got taken down

Firmly believe that anyone who leaks something should be fired at the bare minimum. I also believe that at most people who cover the leaks should at most receive a Cease and Desist in regards to talking about said leaks. the saying don't shoot the messenger comes to mind when talking to about people who cover leaks.

Sooooo.... I don't really care about leaks, but hot damn it looks like a risky buisness

I’m only gonna day this once..hopefully someone that works at PlayStation and everyone knows this..don’t be an idiot..there is ALWAYS going a be a slim..i don’t who you are or what you say..there is ALWAYS GOING TO BE A SLIM..the bulky ones are usually first gen and have problems..everyone some times waits for the slim

I just love this guy's voice and the way he says stuff👌

I work for a banks legal department. Tracking people down is so much easier than you think when you have billions backing you and literal buildings full of programmers and lawyers.

The biggest leak I can think of was the Titanic.

Doom 3 Alpha Leak was massive back in the day

My biggest leaks occur when I am drinking beer while playing games that cannot be paused.

From my understanding, that supmatto dude was selling the leaks to people on discord (in a roundabout way...”subscribe to my patreon and get exclusive access to this leaked info channel!” or something along those lines)

Unnecessary flex... that sounds like a good nickname for Randy Pitchford.

There's a little more to the Borderlands/SupMatto story. Yongyea did a vid on it with much more info than this video had.

the greatest leak i've seen was the piping inside my toilet LOL

Halo 4 had a tournament for the release of the game. The game was leaked 4 months before the tournament/release

Here's a leak with huge consequences for ya. One Christmas, my brother and I lifted the corner of wrapping paper on one fairly large gift a few days early, and saw that it was a Nintendo 64. Our mother figured it out, and without letting us know she knew, returned the gift and exchanged it for a PS1. Still awesome, but the look of confused shock we had must have been her favourite Christmas memory ever

Modern Warfare 2 copies were around and i was playing it online almost a month before official release. A lot of people got banned of course. But it was fun lol. Oh yeah, it was a jtag or whatever u used to call them back in the day.

Thumbnail game so strong

So Sony is much more idiotic than Microsoft. Got it

THIS LOOK AWESOME!!

Sorry is it just me? Or am I wrong in saying that all these companies had the perfect right to sue, or ask for apology or take action on the people doing this. These people spend hours upon hours working on their product, regardless of them being big corporate companies, a lot of hard work goes into this shit. Just don't leak information and you won't face repurcussion? Surely that's just general knowledge.

That’s a good thumbnail

I inadvertently leaked the Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC, the day before they announced it at E3. Either Bethesda or Zenimax had my XBL account AND console banned within hours. Fortunately for me, they realized that it was their fault, and I wasn't under an NDA. So they reversed the bans and gave me a free year of XBL.

Falcon is #1

I don't know exactly what Falcon thinks, but his tone makes it seems that he thinks they shouldn't be punished, sued, or whatever. Like he feels sorry for them. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not exactly pro big company, but if you break a legally binding contract there are consequences. Which a lot of people nowadays think there shouldn't be because it's just companies being big meanies.

The submatto take2 claims are all flimsy at best and the news agencies they used to get thier side out. Have been caught editing thier stories without flagging them as edited. When "facts" in story was exposed as lies

£1.3 million is equal to nearly $1.6 million so the number on screen was completely wrong. Why didn't they just put a £ instead of a $

You are too lazy to scale the head in the image

I'm legit thought annnnnnd and trrruuuueeee were part of the official statements 🤣 🤣 🤣

Borderlands 3 details *REEEEEEEEEEE* Leaking and showing an ENTIRE CONSOLE BEFORE THE OFFICAL RELEASE AND LEAK *oh that's fine*

Most of these leaks just wet the appetite of the fan base. If anything they should be thanking most of these people. But the half life 2 guy, fuck that guy.

This is why it’s hard to be a game tester these days. Leaks not even flex seal can stop.

Wow...Take 2 sounds like EA-level dickh*oles.... If you sick lawyers on peeps, you ain't no 'friendly' gamer company. You're just a turbo-assh*le corporate lizard nest...and i won't buy your s*it (and will applaud the pirates)

Rainbow six leaks about operation Phatom Sight

all the more reason that we shouldn't trust epic games

Throwback to the PS3 slim being leaked at a street market in the Philippines 😂

around the piracy markets. I got to play reach like two weeks before release

One of the biggest leaks I can remember was The Fappening, but I don't think this really belongs here...

boom baby lmfao

People forget that these companies own these IP’s/copyrights etc. and that if they see unauthorized use of their product/service for profit, they have the right to take action.

Didn't someone leak Ops 4's Alpha Omega opening and ending cutscene like weeks before the map even came out??

NDA guy, sure, I mean obviously if you got an NDA you ain't supposed to talk. For the Sony thing, better looking a bit silly than looking like super idiots trying to act like mobsters. Still makes you think though, on one side companies are sending cease and desist letters or calling you asking you to stop (which is a bit creepy/scary I'll admit but still reasonable) while on the other they straight up send goons at your house or try to sue you out of existence. Wonder why people end up not trusting those companies.

There was the QA tester that leaked all the stuff for COD: BO4... that was pretty bad for the game but can't remember what happened to the guy that did the leaking

Okay maybe because I have been a games journalist, and even worked as a game dev for a few games, I know what the word Embargo means. The Sony PS4 Slim situation sounds to me, as a person with first hand experiences on both sides, like these content creators were given items but also told that all reviews/previews were embargoed until After Sony did their big reveal. So no, Sony is not the one who looks bad in this instance.

This is why im a good little boi and dont mess around with shit i shuldent go near. Just leave the game developers alone people. They are prideful and aggressive beasts.

Forza horizon 3 dev game

Number 7 could actually be considered quite clever. It could be a case of the Streisand effect, where trying to hide things on the internet tends to make it more visible, could easily been a way of trying to build a kind of hype train for it

the dude signed a NDA agreement, then spoke about what he witnessed and experience, so yes he will get sued for breaking the agreement. it doesn't matter if he spoke about it in private or in public, he broke the agreement. he's lucky he didn't sign an NDA with the government, or else the consequences would be far worse.

first like, then to watch video :D?

This is why it’s hard to be a game tester these days. Leaks not even flex seal can stop.

Sony regarded sillyMan, its a Japanese company, thats the Japanese way; if some thing has been decided, that is what or when it will happenFor example, some locations I work in wont flip on the AC till July, even if its 30c with eighty humidity, due to the fact thats when we swap on the AC

"Sony looked silly" Man, it's a Japanese company, that's the Japanese way; if something has been decided, that is what or when it will happen For example, some places I work in wont turn on the AC until July, even if it's 30c+ with 80% humidity, because "that's when we switch on the AC"

The smash for 3ds leak was HUGE I remember being in class and watching videos of bowser jr, shulk, and duck hunt. What a time.

To be honest he sighed the NDA and still went on to leak the games future content, regardless if it was just words and not in writing, he was still the one to give the information away, there for he should suffer the brunt of the consequences. If I were lucky enough to work on some of the awesome video games that get developed these days, I’d not only be honoured, but so honoured that I wouldn’t be opening my mouth about informations especially if you had any respect for the game you were trying to bring to life...

U really dont like sony do u?

#6 he broke the contract so he did leak it. The moment he spoke of it to someone he leaked the info... So you sign you bind.

This video leads me to ask the question - Is there a list of non-evil gamedev organizations who have not: - Sent thugs ("private investigators") to residences - Mobilize uniformed thugs ("police"), or - Sued or engaged in any other kind of violence against individuals (regardless of age)? Heck - that concept could probably be expanded to include treatment and work conditions of workers in such organizations and such. I'd be interested in such a list being made official - or at least a watch-list of offenders.

Back when Halo reach was going to be released, the game disks were made in Mexico, I remember an employee of the factory stole a copy of the game and distributed it around the piracy markets. I got to play reach like two weeks before release

Signing an NDA forum is a booby-trap.

Oh yeah. 2 things that went crazy. First it was GTA V went leaked back in 2013 and everyone didn't give a shit BUT I DO and Second there's Kingdom Hearts 3 whoever leaked copies and played it illegally before the release date 2019 is most likely they got founded and arrested by the cops.

No, people have no idea that a contract or an NDA is a legal document. I used to work at a gym. If you don’t cancel in five days, you owe us $300 for the privilege. No one ever read it after signing in the club.

Is it just me or did this video make it seam like @gameranx is ok with people completely lacking in honor & commitment?!? It ma be just me but the wording and tone of the caster makes it seam like they don't agree with people facing consequences for their actions!

"The Dictionary of Legal Bullshit" haha

Yeah this video just made me hate fortnite and epic games more.

Come check me channel

The information on supmatto is a bit off, and clearly scewed in defense of the content creator. There was, strictly speaking, nothing outside of the grey area about what he released or how he got it, but he said if people paid to become a channel member (5$ I think) then they could join his discord where he was posting more leaks than was free to access. The problem they had wasn’t with him leaking info, though it is a bit scummy that he did since he got it by accessing private twitch streams through a bug in twitches mobile app. The problem is that he was directly selling said info to people for money. Thus why his discord was taken down, which you mentioned here without any of the reasoning behind it. I don’t know if what you said is purposefully scewed, but you definitely should have explained more details. It wasn’t exactly the big bad corporation lashing out at the poor innocent defenseless content creator like it came off as in your recap. Love your videos btw, just thought I should put this out there.

Biggest leak.. idk.. but Wolverine Origins... hmmmm
