This is such bull**** it's not even funny.
It's GameXplain guys. They'll do a 30 minute discussion on an obviously fake *** leak, yet the biggest leak of the year they dare not touch with a 39 1/2ft pole and BARELY comment on it.
This damage control is gonna reflect just like a boomerang and they're not gonna know how to catch it. It's gonna hit them straight in the face.
The guy Andre is quoting makes a good point.
Gamexplain probably
can't make a discussion about it, because doing so would give away what information they
do know and, well, it'd be super boring (and make the problem worse) to just hear them saying, "it's fake but we can't really tell you why, bye."
There's also the fact that they could run afoul of Nintendo by discussing it; as journalists, if they make it obvious they know information they aren't supposed to, Nintendo could very well cut their journalistic privileges with them.
The fact that Gamexplain isn't doing a discussion video because they know things is an open secret at this point; whether the information they know is correct is actually not relevant.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the information they were given was leak bait, and Nintendo gave this list to someone they suspected was a leaker deliberately to catch them. If Gamexplain came out and gave the entire list that they were given, Nintendo would know it was that guy, and fire him; other leakers would know not to trust Gamexplain with information, and they'd never get any other leaks again; some would argue that neither of these are
bad things, but consider that if you are known to just give out the information you're given from
leakers, who's to say you won't give out information directly from
Nintendo?
It is in Gamexplain's best interest to keep quiet and not out the leaker, for the sake of their business relation with official sources who actually matter.
