I’m starting to think verge is losing it, he had his moments of Internet fame but now he’s maybe realizing he was either told misinformation deliberately, or possibly he was lying from the start and just got lucky, and now his lucky streak is starting to fade.
Granted I’m still not 100% convinced of the grinch leak, I’d rather just be cautiously hopeful it is, than full blown believing it.
I do wonder though just how likely it is that Nintendo really did pick some unsuspecting “leakers” to deliberately feed misinformation to just keep everyone confused...
All this talk of Nintendo putting in plants just makes me imagine a director working on a fighting game, and just pulling insane, almost unethical steps to just play 4D dimensional chess with everyone until release.
>Dev team working on roster is sequestered off. If there are leaks, we'll know from who. Room has fake cameras in it in very specific locations. Easy to find who would be prime to try and dodge cameras.
>Different departments have multiple fake full rosters that they're working with as if they are real.
>Half way from announcement to release, the Director himself puts out a real leak in secret. Acts distraught behind the scenes. Instill fear of punishment into dev team to ensure loyalty and an airtight team run by fear and paranoia. The director only reveals it was them post release (Or they never do, if they really wanted to be scummy.)
>Director contacts known leakers personally as an insider with a hidden identity and give them half truths and nonsense.
>Any fake information that leaks tells which department did it due to all departments having unique fake information.
>Hire a small advertising firm to handle all promotional art. Probably a tiny, family owned business. If they leak, they are ruined financially ten times over. They can't afford to leak.
Imagine the director dropping a direct style announcement post release revealing every step in their master plan.
