Leaks! With so many recent leaks, scoops, reports, and hacks in the video game industry, Mark, Jessica, and Noah break down everything surrounding them.
They recap and update on the ongoing GTA 6 hack responsible for releasing over 90 videos of unfinished gameplay, and the graphics fiasco that resulted in other game devs posting early build footage in solidarity with Rockstar. Dan Allen’s mistake outing as a leaker is also covered, as are examples of good leaks in video games, and comparisons to movie leaks – particularly Marvel projects.
