TL;DR: Leaker Pyoro wasn't getting his stuff from the YouTube backend like people thought. His source was someone working on the backend of Nintendo's website and he got his leaks from eShop pages before they were published. Nintendo tested this with the direct by not creating eShop pages for their new announcements ahead of time.

It's likely his source has been whacked.

Leakers have gone to dust and atoms.

 

[crackajack]

Mario fails at his job. Leaks aren't supposed to be killed. God damn it man.

Good. These leakers killed all the excitement from these shows and for what? 2 days of fame each time there's a show?

 

[Andyliini]

Good.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Post some pics, I wanna see what all these leakers look like

Are there any pics of any leakers or are they all just anime pictures?

Midori is not a Japanese woman at least.

Wasn’t someone’s uncle after all.?

Shame they didn't make an unlisted page for Half Life 3 / God Of War / Halo and then waited.

 

[MrRenegade]

If he would've read some books on operational security. But people are retarded.

Or for a F-Zero game.

Speaks a lot about the state of humanity that people would go to such great lengths to get and leak such information... all for fame and fake internet cred.

If this was actually somehow being monetized or done for profit... I would have at least understood that. But for internet cred? Crazy.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think this is fascinating. A corporate sting operation to figure out who is ruining the surprises. Nintendo is going to get you.

ManaByte I like it, but Nintendo is probably Yakuza.

 

[Hudo]

He got Nintendone.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Good riddance, lol. I couldn't stand the smugness of this dude even though his Nintendo leaks were spot on until recently.

 

[LakeOf9]

Honestly good. I enjoyed going into a show with zero idea what they’ll have.

 

[SirTerry-T]

The Vengeful Spirit of Yamauchi lives on...

 

[Draugoth]

Leakers are some obnoxious folk, i cant stand them and their parasocial relationships

 

[cireza]

Always make me think of Roger Federer.

That is monitized now. If you can gather a large following you can create YouTube / x posts / tok told and generate adds which can be lucrative

 

[DonF]

I looove leaks, but this 1 day prior leaks are of no use but to clout. So yeah, good.

 

[Darko]

Rip.. condolences to their family. Nintendo don’t play.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Good. These leakers killed all the excitement from these shows and for what? 2 days of fame each time there's a show?

Cunts who want attention. That is all it ever was.

 

[Ribi]

Do they even need leaks for Nintendo? Here I'll do it for you: Zelda, Mario, Mario Luigi, Mario remake, occasional Japanese RPG.

Pay me

It’s more for me how a lot just throw anything out there maybe get a few right but websites etc promote them like they are some wise sages.

 

[diffusionx]

"Yes, Yamauchi-sama. Pyoro? Got it. Let's a-go"

Why is wajeeho94 in his feelings ??

You could also make the case for the state of humanity being in a pretty shitty place if everything's considered ok as long as it makes money too, of course.

 

[mitch1971]

Maybe GAF posters of these leakers should stop posting it here, too. Especially if you are sticking the leak in the title as well.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Good. Screw those leeching scoundrels.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

At least when a shitty thing is done for money, I can make sense of it. When its done for nothing but internet cred and even stands the risk of making you lose your job or something? Thats just crazy to me.

 

[Zannegan]

Agreed. Give me wild hardware leaks or in-development software leaks months to years out, not a one-day spoiler spree.

Leaker culture sucks. Let the companies themselves decide when to reveal information.

I hope the clout chasing was worth someone's job and career prospects.
