I wasn't talking about the video leaks, friend. The 4chan leaks that I was catching a metric shit ton of shit for doubting. I've had something like 20 or 30 people go through my posts here. And you're probably far off with this pay dispute claim.I'm sorry, but if you doubt these leaks you're an idiot. They're fully edited motion capture scenes complete with voice acting. One full minute of that for a AAA game is like 10 to 20k, not even counting the man hours done to integrate it. You're talking about hours of this stuff being released, Sony DMCAing everyone, Naughty Dog asking for it not to be spoiled. This wouldn't happen if they were fake or half-assed. This isn't some green text from 4chan. Only someone working intimately on the game would have this. Its utterly impossible otherwise. The leaks are real. And its too late in the development process to revamp it. They might as a response, since its overwhelmingly negative. But good luck with that, as most of the senior staff left.
And to expect the leaker to give his name is absolute insanity. Balls? Jesus fucking christ. You're legitimately rétarded if this is the standard of evidence you want. You can't think logically or critically. He's not going to give his fucking name because the courts would ass rape him into the dirt, he'd possibly go to jail and fuck his family over for life. Its also possible he had help from other employees which may put their careers in danger. Its not a matter of having 'balls', its a matter of protecting yourself. Why don't all whistle blowers who possess dangerous information give their full name and address while we're at it. Jesus.
Its obvious that he had help and a mass of unpaid, disgruntled workers with a shitty corporate culture is going to lead to a mutiny. Its called hiding a leaf in the forest. Someone took one for the team and leaked everything that was given to him. And he's probably not even linked to the information he leaked, which would protect him. This is a simple, classic strategy. And I doubt he's dumb enough to leave evidence. Since there are masses of unpaid, disgruntled, angry employees with access to the material, its impossible to single any one of them out. And they probably weren't dumb enough to use work emails. It is also entirely possible none of them even work there anymore. Good luck getting people who hate you to cooperate with an internal investigation who no longer work for you without a court order.
And this was obviously over a pay dispute. The intentions are to ruin it financially. If the game had been good, it would have been so much harder to do this much damage. But that was Druckman's hubris. So the egotistical faggot got taken out by the employees he abused and his 'masterpiece' is being shit on by everyone. No, there's absolutely NO MOTIVE here for someone for the company to leak it. God forbid.
Edit: Ooo... look at this.
I do regret tweeting a Take on this earlier when we didn't actually know whether it was a ND employee (serves me right for reacting to Twitter) but some of the claims don't add up. ND has real issues (ones I've covered a lot) but they actually gave contractors extra pay for covid
