Are leaks GOOD or BAD for the fans and industry?
I think the context of the leaks is what's important. I think too much information too soon could be bad. If your game isn't going to be released for some time (1 year+) leaking big or too much info could be a buzz killer, and also things change. I think the passing of some recent big names in the industry showed that things can change a lot. No one anticipates those things can happen when they do.
And oh shit, just realized Midori is my characters name. (Well, was supposed to be)
@@mrsdragonite True
@@mrsdragonite 🤣
I thought leaks were covert advertisements in disguise.
Ultimately, it’s up to us to decide whether to consume all the information. Yes, it's easier said than done, but we have the choice to avoid spoilers/leaks. We can simply ignore all related content and wait until the game is released. Instead we choose to spoil the experience ourselves. It’s our own fault, not the leaker’s.
Absolutely true!
I'm not for leaks personally, because the fun and excitement of getting something new is then diminished. I love being surprised, like seeing expedition 33 has me hyped for the game and it's exciting to see more later and not knowing.
Then of course how true are the leaks, take everything with a grain of salt, House Hippo's taught me that lol.
What is this about cells breaking down ... and we're a new person lol :D
Hahaha those Canadian House Hippos were the best!
I’m still on the fence when it comes to leaks. I completely agree with you though
IMO, its a bit of yes and a bit of no. I don’t think I’ve experienced a moment where a leak ruined the experience of a reveal-trailer for a game. Its kind of like a hyped up movie, where you somewhat know the plot and know which actors are in it, but until you see that first trailer you don’t know what to really expect. Once the reveal trailer for a game drops I don’t even think about the leak or leaker afterwards.
The only bad thing about leaks is more so the leakers themselves and how EVERYONE wants to be a leaker. Like whenever there’s a Nintendo Direct coming suddenly 1000s of “leakers” start showing up. And then there’s this weird cultish following for leakers that doesn’t make sense to me. Living through those days when the Smash Bros games were in development and we were all hungry for info was the worst. 😂
Man I remember when Earthbound 64 was gonna be a thing. I used to read nintendo power etc. Just to look at the upcoming games. That and Gamefaqs "upcoming games/most wanted" section.
Haha yeah same dude!
Depends on the leak imo, if it's a good leak it can bring excitement to a game or if it's a bad leak it can hopefully shed some light on the project and maybe get things turned around in the right direction... Look at all those microtransaction games, once that got leaked i just stopped looking into those games in general
Yeah, this is pretty much where I’m at as well. Leaks can be good or bad; depending on what’s leaked and how it’s received
_"Are Leakers Bad For Fans & The Gaming Industry?"_
I don't think so, unless if the leaks themselves are full copies of finished products. When leaks of news and information occurs, it can help companies gauge unsolicited audience reception and give them an idea of what their consumers want. It also gives people a starting point for discussions regarding the leak, which may or may not be real, such as the discussion people had about a Starcraft FPS that Blizzard was internally prototyping.
I'd also say that leaks can give corporations the humiliation they deserve, like when Half-Life 2's shoddy state got leaked which threw eggs all over their faces. Valve was mismanaging the project for so long and weren't communicating anything to their audience, and the leaks forced them to be upfront and transparent with the fanbase, along with giving them a good kick in the rear to do better.
I get people rather trust leakers than developers but the fun of a release is the unknown, how people were depended on Midori/Mystic, if it was his intention, just how no has faith in game companies or trustworthy people anymore
Plus I started to feel numb but leak culture by this point thanks to everyone believe Mystic over KH4
To be fair I am probably one of the few people who always believed Midori was a guy, have a said that it is still wild specially all the other information about Midori!
Yes and no. Leakers are good for the industry especially for us in the west where we dont get much info in the first place about these games. So yea getting updates and such from leakers keeps the fanbase happy and up to date. HOWEVER i respect the decision that some want to go in blind and some want to know certain things such as release date/how production is going and these people may not want to know anything else. The issue imo arises when people post things to yt about said leakes without a warning. It should be considered common curtesy to either ask if the person wants to see the leaks or to keep spoilers out of the title and thumbnails off videos. People should be given the choice to watch that content and not have it forced down their throat.
I remember when you used to be able to call 900 numbers just to get tips and tricks or step by step walkthroughs for a game. lmao
Dude those things were so expensive hahaha!
@@dukey03 yea I am ashamed to admit but I went to a neighbor to call the number so that my parents wouldn’t get the bill for me calling. Lmao I was only about 11 or 12 years old.
@@TheRealPyxx hahaha! DAMN! Now THOSE are some pro gamer strats 🤣
I think that leakers can be both good and bad in some ways, even if we're ignoring all of the times when they're spreading misinformation.
The good thing about leakers is that they can drum up conversation around a certain series and draw in new fans to a dying series--potentially saving the entire series. This doesn't necessarily need leakers but they can contribute to this if the developers aren't open about their development.
The bad thing about them is that the game studios don't get to control the marketing of their games. Early information can get people hyped up but that hype quickly dies out. Just look at what's going on with Elder Scrolls 6. While not a result of leaks, I see almost zero interest in that game because they announced way before they should have.
Yeah true. Sometimes developers themselves release information on a game long before they should have as well. Look at Dragon Quest XII; I don’t see us getting news on it for awhile yet and it’s been about 4-5 years since we first got that title reveal trailer. It made people believe that it was even getting cancelled at one point
I almost bought TLOU2, if it wasn't for the leaked script. Had I known about it Ragnarok I'd skipped it as well. I don't like every game getting leaked but, when companies pull a fast one I find it acceptable.
Did the guy deny the accusations?
RGT85: best Nintendo YTer
Rotflmao, RIGHT!?
@@dukey03 I love when he trolls people about it
@@wizcatcheslightning haha same, and people troll him back
15:26 Allow me to disagree. The information we got was always correct, it just wasn't representative of the final product. But it was right information regarding the development process of those games.
That’s true; the info was correct at the time it was written. The games just changed by the time they released
Nice vid man, but something completely unrelated: Did someone ever tell you that you sound slightly like Roger Craig Smith? Sometimes it felt like I was listening to Sonic or Chris Redfield lol
Haha thanks! No, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten that one before to be honest hahaha! I love Sonic and would love to be as jacked as Chris Redfield though
"It's a maaaaan, baaaaby, yeeeaaaah!"
--Austin Powers
Rotflmao! Holy fuck 😂
No, if the leaks prove that obvious problems exist, then players can communicate that with the devs sooner
Honestly i don't care especially if said companies say nothing and do mothing for yrs at a time like what else do you expect? Again either way i do not care rather leakers exist or not
What is the game at 12:20??
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It looks bad ass!
@@dukey03 Indeed it does. Thank you for letting me know
@@2FrogShiny my pleasure! I tried to show some of the more recently announced games that I’m interested in
Imo yes
Why do you believe so?
@@dukey03 they spoil our excitement and compromised our capacity to wait.
your different person is every 7 years.
Thanks, I knew it was something like that. (After reading up on it more; I’m pretty sure it’s mostly a myth. But everyone changes as they grow older through their life experiences and interests)
@@dukey03 i learn that from the vaishnavas when I use to go to a yoga temple.
@@alexisguerrero7551 that’s awesome dude!
I'm fcking addicted to this tune.
I mean...has he been arrested or charged with a crime? People can say whatever they want about someone but that doesn't mean its all true and the only time I take things like this seriously is if there is some proof.
Go all in on calling "Midori" a piece of shit, and an abuser; only to back-pedal "these are just accusations, nothing's confirmed"
Gotta cover your ass, right?
