He is by far THE BEST leaker - he even leaked who is person behind the insider account xD
He's only apologizing because he got caught, and only "taking time to reflect" so people can forget about what he did
@n30n and he is going to be punished by the limits of NDA.
@n30n He certainly murdered peoples' trust in him
And because no one is gonna hire him. He isn't "taking a break," like he says, he's being court martialled.
No shit 🤦♂️
Shut the hell up man lol. What the hell do you expect somebody who made a mistake to do self righteous clown. People always forget and move on with their lives and people bounce back all the time from worse stuff. Sit down
Clout is an even more dangerous drug than Nostalgia
It’s a fucked up evolution of popularity
Yeah the ranking is as follows; Clout - Copium - Hopium - then Nostalgia lol
True but bro why insult nintendo and dbz fanboys tho?
Whats dangerous about nostalgia?
Cloutium
As someone who got into the D4 alpha and beta through the family and friends list I had to sign the same NDAs. Violating the NDAs is getting his Blizzard employee friend fired. It clearly states that in the NDA, so he's fucking over his friends career for this clout bs
people who want clout usually aren't thinking of others sadly
Yep, it's like referring a friend for a job and then they rob the place blind.
What consequences does he face for breaking the NDA?
They already sending out invites got D4?
Wow, that actually makes him go from an idiot to a straight up cunt
I like how this leaker didn't even leak anything particularly juicy, just the kind of stuff that gets publicly announced in like a week or two anyway, lol
The fact that he violated the NDA isn’t what shocks me, it’s the fact that he got this revealed because he posted it on his main Twitter account. Boggles the fucking mind.
Right?! I mean I would assume that anyone who wanted to get away with this stuff would be using a burner phone with no sim with an always on vpn to access the leaker account. For like 200 bucks this would never happen. This is basic opsec.
Of course I wouldn't ever bother leaking most of the bs he did. NDAs are important to prevent corporate espionage, and unless your leak is important to the public good, (like prism or something like Facebook app recording with the app closed) it really isn't acceptable. These types of leaks just mean that gaming companies will be less able to get community feedback early in the development cycle. Literally just makes gaming worse for everyone.
Dude literally has his sub count in his twitter bio hes so desperate for clout
I would be desperate too if I looked like a fat neck beard with giant glasses who's only friends are Twitter, videogames, and calories...
Creating a false account to try to negotiate terms for returning the info is A. Extortion and blackmail and B. Wire fraud at least because he would eventually need to cash in (all under false pretense and identity)
He’s so fucked
The level of regret when he realized what he did. Delicious.
Okay clown 🤡
@@richardshiflett5181 Yeah, thats the only way taking pleasure in the misery of others is not awful, when they do it to themselves.
Ya know, I've thought about this for a while, as to how many leaker accounts are owned by legitimate people in the gaming space who are trusted with this information. I feel like this doesn't just ruin his reputation, but it could make developers more cautious about who they reach out to and share information with.
Makes it harder for other content creators who do adhere to nda.
This is very true. Having worked in industries with NDAs being very common, this shit just makes everyone's life worse.
It's like someone shitting on the boss' desk and the whole office knows exactly who did it, but everyone loses their special perks to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Imagine going into an office every day and having Bob smile at you and ask how the kids are doing and then finding out he's the guy who keeps leaking your new video games to pirate sites...
@@since1876 but bob brought us donuts :(
He did all this for an average of 20-30 likes per post? Totally worth that clout!
That's the saddest part about it.
You can get more likes posting pictures of dogs.
I was thinking the same thing, what a loser
"shit this doing numbers"
The guy did it for clout, and the clout said "ez dodge" lol
That dude has a very radio or talk show type voice. Such well pronounced and articulated words mixed with his tone. I’d watch him cause he seems very believable with things he says.
He's a content creator and voice actor 😛
@@amaru5858 well that makes sense then 😂
@@ExireHG It was hard for me to stick with them after the cyberpunk 2077 fiasco.
He has 0 integrity. He just copies Reddit posts, comments etc and regurgitates the popular opinion. His videos could also be about 3-5 minutes long but he drags it out a ridiculous amount. I used to like him a lot but once you realise this stuff his content just becomes unbearable.
@@lukewarmape603 I don't know if you know what reporting is lol
Can we just take a minute to talk about how he tweeted “never forget” to toot his own horn about his leaks being right, on ***September*** ***tenth*** . 12:14.
I think publishers trust news outlets more than streamers is the risk. A media company is probably more unlikely to break an NDA as they have responsibility to shareholders and much more at stake than a single streamer or a small streamer group.
How does someone who has a dedicated leak account not have a separate device for it 😂
I worked in the Reality television genre, and we all singed NDA's. Hell's Kitchen w/ Gordon Ramsay was just one of the many shows I worked on. I told my close friends the show was scripted, but I never revealed who won the show. I liked being "in the know" I'm good at keeping secrets.
Reality tv is scripted? Shit santa claus must be real tho bro
Hello sigma
@@EggEnjoyer NDAs are legally binding contracts dingus
True story bro
@@EggEnjoyer He told his close friends that he had knowledge that a show in a genre that is *extremely widely known* to be scripted and planned out ahead of time... was planned out and scripted ahead of time: I've signed precisely zero NDAs ever, and I could have told his friends that, with exactly the same weight of authority behind my pronouncement.
He didn't tell them anything that wasn't already extremely common knowledge already, people know reality TV shows like that are scripted and not actually "reality", there's an entire cottage hobby of people pointing out and laughing at their editing goofs that inadvertently give that away on the actual broadcasts. Taking reality TV at face value is like believing in Santa Claus.
The fact that he acts like your generic anonymous hacker (hooded profile pic, a "..." after every sentence, etc.) makes this all the more embarrassing
He should have had a batman setup, where one pc was logged into his shady account... and the other his actual account.
Still, he got caught, so he is doing damage control. He would have continued doing this, cause it was two forms of platforms and he wanted it all.
Actually, couldn't he face criminal liability for knowingly entering some of these NDA agreements with the intent to hide his identity and break them? I'm almost certain that level of fraud could be considered criminal.
I guess it really depends on the terms of the NDA's. He may or may not face criminal charges, but I guarantee those companies with whom he broke the NDA's with are going to slam him with lawsuits regardless.
No need to sue him, just blacklist him
While its hard to enforce, its Activisions legal team.
If the language is specific enough, even in CA that has made them harder to enforce, they can get you in civil court for any damages they can prove.
Lmaoooo I just watched his sifu boss guide within the hour and it was my first video I’ve seen of his
This man had the super power of betraying others trust. NO ONE SAW THIS COMING lol
I’m surprised this guy had access to so much information, I’ve never heard of him before.
If I was one of these companies I'd give individuals people, extremely spicy info and see who leaks and just oust these people one by one
If I remember correctly, there was a bigger tech company that, to fight leaks, would distribute the same memos but in just so slightly altered versions. E.g. just very subtle changes in punctuation or spelling. Nobody would notice, but they could then narrow it down further.
@@niedas3426 smart
they should send over watermarked videos and slightly tweak the watermark just to see who gets leaked would be pretty hilarious if we got more drama like that coming out
I had the thumb nail not fully scrolled into my view and only saw "TH-camr Accidentally Exposes Himself"
I love how asmongold gets so excited when the video says what he was also thinking lol
He didn’t explain what he did in his apology because admitting to it in writing opens him up to litigation.
The bridge building analogy was the best part of the video hands down!
Congratulations you played yourself 🤣
Idk why I love watching asmongold watch another youtube/streamer while he commentates x'D Keep it up bro.
If I was the company I would total press charges and sue him just to make a point. If companies keep letting people break NDAs with no consequences then more people are naturally going to do that more often. But as Asmongold has said that this is a grey area overall.
i dont think he was committing a crime, as NDAs are civil law. These companies have to use NDAs in order to be able to show they have taken steps to protect their intellectual property, witch is required if you want to copywrite it. The companies should be protected enough in this matter just by having the NDAs in place but it can cause hell of a headache for them if they have to track down and follow up on people misusing this information. the Allen guy would be liable for that cost.
Every gamedev company gets NDAs broken from time to time, it's sometimes easy especially when you hire freelancing companies like 99.9% of AAA companies these days - it leads to lines of subcontractors where you might not even broken your own NDA but your contractor NDA. It's mostly a tool to get people in the industry marked as untrustworthy publicly.
I don't know what pseudo law this is but that's not what NDA is hard at all it's not to protect copyright?! It stands non-disclosure agreement it's a contract signed which probably has penalties outlined so they'll take him to court and tell the judge he broke this contract now we want him to pay the penalties that he agreed to if he broke this contract he will get a chance to argue that maybe it was for a good reason but in this case definitely not.
For the lawyer/ getting sued thing. They have to prove it caused damages. Like leaking the name of a game, well you can't prove people suddenly never bought the game because they found out the name too early so no they can't really sue at all. Well they can but it gets thrown out.
The better way to make an example is to limit information for a short while and to make it extremely known that its because of the leaks. Way more impact.
Something to also mention about NDA law. If an NDA is signed over an action that in itself is illegal, then the NDA is actually non-binding and is void. An example from a real crime I researched: A serial rapist forced his victims to sign NDAs and threatened to sue them if they ever spoke out. This was not a high profile case, it was actually a story that broke out in a small city. He was only caught by one woman finally speaking out. I think the reports were somewhere between 5-10 known victims of the guy too. It's been years since I researched this, but if you are ever forced to sign an NDA check to see if the contractor is actually just trying to hide a crime committed against you, because you cant be sued over breaking an illegal NDA.
I thought you can't apologize for something you did wrong. But you can ask for apology.
I love how Asmon said" there's not a lot of horsepower here" referring to the guy not being to bright . 😂🤣
“Being to brite”… You don’t seem to have much horsepower yourself LOL
@@PhilGerb93 well I guess you've got Google to blame for that one which means you don't seem too bright either. See I was using my mic to text but hey I guess complete and total Geniuses like you considered that right huh. So this is what I'll say to you troll find a bridge because I'm sure somewhere there's a bridge missing its troll bye now but I'll go ahead and fix it since it seems to have puckered your butthole so much
@@PhilGerb93 damn
You're simping for the guy
I've not heard of a single instance where verbal agreement held up in a court of law as valid... it needs written down or it doesnt hold
well this streamer is now going to under a huge clout of debt after he gets sued to oblivion
Its 5000 dollars just for a lawyer to start a suit, let alone persue it.
Now he’s basically checking all the apology checkboxes. He’s done….Atleast definitely blacklisted…Now he’s taking the, “ma mental health gonna take a youtube break “.
Chat's from another time.
That guy was having too much fun lmao
They are going to make an example of him to make sure streamers and personalities think twice before posting info they signed NDA's for. Dude is gonna be monetarily buried. And his leaks spread so far, it is gonna be multiple companies
As they should.
Dumb people don’t realize the seriousness of legally bonded documents lol
The leaker is a straight up Look At Me Louie
believe it or not....straight to jail
How was he planning on getting clout from an anonymous account😂
half of these “leaks” i already knew of/about. especially the silent hill 2 remake and mgs remake, those have been in my wet dreams.
this is why I hate any leakers in general even for Gacha games. they always feel they're "helping" even when the company starts giving us more heads up on things they try to go even further than what the company tells people just for clout. and then braindead people always try to defend the leakers when they aren't providing anything that changes whether you get something or not.
The only leaks i want, re release dates, the rest ruins the feeling of seeing it for the first time.
Tho the release dates must be the actual dates no delays.
"I'm sorry I got caught".
27:55 you mean 5-7 years at Burger King KEKW
We don't owe companies anything we don't agree to. If I find out about a companies secrets without an nda I dont have any responceability. But if you want trust and respect from them because you want to work with them it's better not to.
Why would you go on TH-cam and confess all? Bonehead move. Wow.
I genuinely don't get the appeal for breaking NDA. Especially today when it feels like fans are primarily angry at people for breaking NDA.
But to me as a fan and as a business person, I cannot fathom breaking an NDA. From a business standpoint, it's helpful and good business to be in good standing so I can obtain early codes, review codes, and ask questions directly to the PR / developers. It's wise to keep those relationships healthy. From a fan standpoint, I'm excited to play some of my most anticipated and hyped games early. Getting to see it and experience it sooner than later is a beautiful and treasured privilege.
Whoa this guy looks exactly like Buck Angel
asmongold literally said in another video that he liked leaks and said it was great for the hype of the game
Exactly. That's why I was surprised with his takes here about how he hate leaks..
They will pursue this, surely to set the example, otherwise everyone will start to break them.
If you don't use two devices to do this shit, you want to get caught.
Dude just blackballed himself from the industry.
Lot of dirty laundry being aired in the gaming industry lately. This kind of shit and worse happens everywhere but I find it interesting that a lot of it in this industry is coming out at the same time.
4:54 No, breaking a contractual stipulation is not a "crime". The stipulations within the contract are not laws. They can sue him. And if they can prove he entered into the contract with bad intentions then they can prosecute for a crime. But otherwise, not a crime... just a shameful action.
To touch on the verbal countract thing "if you say yes to this thing, that is a contract and is still binding." Yeah, absolutely. You just don't usually hear about it because its a much more difficult to prove that this consent and agreement actually took place. But, if you can, it absolutely counts. It's like if you verbally made a contract on facebook market place
"Im selling a $40 calculator do you want to buy this?"
"Yes I do."
"Great, do you want to meet at my house?"
"sure."
"Okay bring cash, come alone, drive up in a blue car and if you don't then you agree to pay $60."
"Sounds good. Be there soon."
And then you don't show up in a blue car and instead ask to pay by sending Paypal funds, now you're obligated to pay $60.
There might be more nitty gritty complications with that example, but, you get the point. If you 2 parties agree to do something, it can be binding.
Sometimes companies HAVE to make examples otherwise it doesn't mean anything. BUT he seems to be burying himself which is just as good
Bro pulled a Twitter KD🤣
The only publisher I could see suing for broken NDAs is Nintendo. I dunno what Rockstar would do.
Guess I'm too old School but a verbal NDA isn't as strong as just having the integrity to keep your word.
I love how he says he is not going to do it again... oh course, he will be put on the black list of every gaming pr company, he will never again be given any material to leak 🤷
CRINGE!
CRINGE!
I guess he wasn’t lying then, lol, he’ll never be able to do it. 😆 Genius, ain’t he.
Keep posting so I can block all the transphobes who think it's a good idea to parade around how dumb they are.
Sincerely, a fellow enby.
cringe
If I did something like that, I would have a dedicated desktop computer in a specific location for the "undercover" account and ONLY use that computer to post on that account. That way you never accidentally forget to switch accounts. ;)
Breaking a NDA contract is not a crime, nor a criminal offense. NDA's are civil contracts. You can be sued for it and face financial penalties for it, but you are not going to get jail time. At least in the USA.
Hed have gotten away with it too if he had a dedicated machine just for his alt account.
Know this is an older video, but find it funny he deleted his apology video
That apology was be, Idrc about leaks like we all knew gow ragnarok was coming soon, but he only apologised cos he got caught, and the ONLY reason he’ll never don anything like this again is because he’s never getting invited ever again, and if he was ashamed of his actions he’d have just not done it or stopped a long time ago, the comment abt him doing it to feel important is spot on and he probably had more followers in his leak acc than all his socials and content creation acc combined, with not thing he’s sorry for, is getting caught
Yo how the hell do these multi account people keep making this same mistake? They don't check what account they're on before making posts?
I heard the cops arrested a guy in the UK for the GTA6 hack today. (Is it true?)
Yeah he did more harm than good. My self and so many other people were looking forward to a MGS remaster announcement at TGS. But all Konami showed was a remaster for a niche asf jrpg. Now so many people are even upset with Konami because their hopes were high
Isnt this also the guy who said Doc Disrespect had all sorts of legal charges coming against him and we would see soon and then it was nothing at all?
This crap reminds me of a lonely single man with no friends and no one to have any pillow talk with. Next best thing blab everything on Twitter for attention
so he broke NDA's for pretty much no reason and all that has done is probly make companys less likly to be transparent and forthcoming to people in the future.. great, ruined it for everyone else
Is always interesting to watch someone self destruct their own career.
No, breaking the terms of an NDA or MNDA is not a crime asmon…. It’s a civil agreement and you could be subject to injunctive or legal remedies.
It depends if the NDA included trade secrets and if any were leaked, that could be considered electronic espionage
@@masterblue1 no, that is not from breaching MNDAs. That is in the UK (maybe other countries as well) and is for criminally breaching electronic systems for information.
Here, we are only talking about breaching MNDAs and NDAs. The issue of leaking Trade Secrets depends on whether it was done for commercial gain and what state it took place in. This is a separate issue than breaching an NDA.
Your MNDAs will not list trade secrets or terms like that, but will instead use the term “Confidential Information” and will keep it generally broad to better protect your info.
Wait GTA6 has actual leaks and not just GTAV mods? Crazy...
Lmaoo
Kinda crazy the leaker is a 17yo
This dan Allen always was super suspected to me. I saw the guy for the first time has a mod on that crazy guy that makes videos talking trash on every new AAA game.
Breaking an NDA is not committing a crime, it's a breach of contract. He's deleting his accounts because he opened himself to a lawsuit, then outed himself as the perpetrator.
Wow, he leaked that Ubisoft is still planning to milk assassin's Creed? Who could have seen that?
5:00 - Breaking an (non-governmental) NDA is **NOT** a crime. It’s breach of contract that grants grounds to sue/collect. But it’s not **criminal** . Different legal standards of proof and things like no jail time possible
14:10 "This mistake will never happen again." Of course it won't, because after this shit, no one's going to give you insider information ever again.
With a name like 'Dan Allen', what did we really expect
Sometimes the company/devs itself intentionally releases the leaks for their own benefits.
You can build one hundred bridges...
Damn i had completely forgotten YongYea, stopped looking at his video after Cyberpunk. Stellar review before the launch and when the community started complaining he forgot about his review, weirdly.
Ngl I was blindsided by this cause I actually liked and watched his vids especially when he interviewed the VAs from the games like damn dude
near the end of the video (36:33), the guy started to sound like he was doing a Christopher Walken impersonation. Not meant to be an insult or a criticism; just an observation I couldn't unhear once it started.
Breaking a nda is a sure way to get your entire career go up in smokes. And for what? Some temporary clout wow
I might leave a reminder on his TH-cam channel comments section
It's funny cuz we all hear about leaks to video games and they're exciting
39:32 bro why is that so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
so in the case of the gta 6 leaker, he basically leaked the source code and vital information. He can get sued rightfully and probably get jail time correct?
I mean i think the general population doesn't really care about someone leaking gaming news, if anything its cool sometimes. but uhhh the game devs and lawyers are not gunna be happy. OOF.
