The grinch leak has to be one of the most well put together fake leaks in gaming history. People traced the image's poster back to an actual printing company that printed game posters and whatnot. But looking back on it, I think the dead giveaway that it was fake was the amount of obscure characters on the banner.
The amount of obscure characters is what made it believable. Smash newcomers are like 60% characters people saw coming with the other 40% being basically anything. No one saw a piranha plant coming to the game.
@@Dakr2000 obscure and unexpected are two different things. Most people know who piranha plant is. I don't think many know about the chorus kids or mach rider
16:52 And the worst part is that people didn't care that the employees info got leaked. Instead, the leak made people DESPISE Insomiac Games. You cannot find anyone talking about anything positive about them anymore. They're just as hated and mocked as modern Naughty Dog because of it.
I am SO sick of game leaks now. Nothing is EVER surprise anymore and it sucks. Why cannot we just let things be a surprise? Are we THAT afraid of things being mildly disappointing that we would be willing to spoil/ruin an ENTIRE game for someone? Cause I’m fairly sure that’s why some leaks happen. Especially the Sonic ones. Like I understand not wanting to be disappointed. But it that really worth ruining the experience for 1,000’s of people who may have actually ended up liking the game just because YOU personally thought it was mid?
I hate spoiler leaks, especially the ones for sonic frontiers when I played that game I already knew about a bunch of stuff already which really bogged down the experience for me
The week before SXSG was officially released for everyone was the worst week of my life cuz I could not use any social media sites without the first thing recommended to me was either a leak or a spoiler
Truely i used to avoid pewdiepie lets play back in time so that i can keep hype i only used to watch gameranx back in the day top 10 videos and all 😂 Still no gpu to play aaa titles
Videogame leaks have also saved people money. look at suicide squad kill the justice league. Had it not been for leaks I'd still think the wonderwoman game would be coming next year or soon. But now I won't waste my time waiting because they studio was doing God knows what for 4 years before they started development in 2021 the year they revealed the game. The only bad thing to come out of the Insomniac leak was the personal information of employees that shouldn't have happened but I know wolverine is not a day one buy (I know it's incomplete but the gameplay doesn't seem interesting). Leaks save money in my case so bring on the leaks so I don't waste my time or money anticipating games.
Ik this is abit of stupid thing to say but I mostly I think the people to sorta blame is RUclipsrs talking about these leaks okay now hear me out I feel like a good chunk of people wouldn’t have known about these leaks, if people just didn’t talk about them on RUclips speaking of, unlike Reddit and 4chan RUclips is a huge bubble so A lot of attention can be brought to said leak because of a video about a game being falsely leaked or a game being leaked in general and before people say “oh well they might not have anything to talk about” which is bullshit since I’ve seen a lot of people who talk about this shit also do other types of content The only exception is twitter since it’s a big bubble like RUclips
Merry Christmas Everyone, have a wonderful day

@@SFproductions1 Yeah the amount of signs at how fake it was when looking back is really obvious now, but man was it a fun time

Especially their most recent game: Spider-Man 2, and the most popular upcoming one: wolverine. It’s sad people join in on what’s popular
what was the leak again? and why’d it make people hate them?

@@ToonyTalesX agreed 100%
I didn't realize people hated leaks so much, damn
These companies can be so stingy with gameplay I look at the leaks lol, merry Christmas
@@Terminal_Apotos I think I know which one you might be referring too 💀 Merry Christmas man

You know what's worse than video game leaks? DISRESPECTING EGGNOG!
I just want to know if these leakers are getting paid… because why the hell would you do something like this in your spare time?

Depends the leak, some are taking away from “the moment”
Other hype up but only some
@SonicTheHedgehogX15 agreed
The grinch leak is such a wild event in the smash bros community that I'll never forget
You don't have to hide your southern accent. It's there I can smell it lol.
