these leakers need to seek some psychological help

 

[azertydu91]

What a surprise!!!The leaker that never got anything right was bullshitting all this time?

 

[jigglet]

Since I’m not interested in this game and have no dog in this race, I will continue believing him because why fucking not.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

[Fredrik]

Ouch!
But at least he wasn’t caught sending dick pics to find another inside source, could’ve been worse lol, still have some dignity left, maybe

 

[MadPanda]

I stopped visiting xboxera because, among other things, sometimes I felt like I was in a hive as they were all defending and praising him. If there was an add-on for browser's to filter every supposed insider and leaker I'd even pay for it.

Its because ALL leakers are fake, they only have 1 or 2 friends in PR, thats why they can only leak before an events, and in case of schenider or werever that rat is called, because he contact ANGRY employees,
The ACTUAL People Who have friends in dev teams like many in this forum or industry are not going to fuck up their friends, their carreers and moment even if they know alot of stuff, for fuck sake i know a few things People are going to see in a few years, and im pretty sure like other 50 know about it too, the gaming industry have secrets but are not that secret

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Ok, but what does Sucker Punch have to do with Days Gone?
Shows you the knowledge of the industry these insiders have.

 

[sinnergy]

Famous ? Never heard from him

 

[FeastYoEyes]

With nearly all of the insiders being wrong, Sonys slate looking hella empty.

 

[Gudji]

He was never an industry insider to begin with, thought people already knew this. Throw enough shit at a wall and some will stick.

 

[GymWolf]

And why is this guy famous to begin with?

 

[Lupin25]

Isn’t he an Xbox/MS advocate? Why would he be worried about conjuring up fake PS5 rumours? Lmao

 

[Mr Reasonable]

If anyone wants some gaming rumours, I can make a twitter account and share things I make up there.

Lol at that discord shot. I bet you could say "new PlayStation 5 pro launching August with new Last of Us, God Of War, Metal Gear and new Horizon campaign packed in. $600" and he'd immediately say "yeah, I know."

 

[TheRedRiders]

Hopefully after this, people don't take Speshal Dick seriously anymore.

 

[Roman Empire]

Baited by Karma whores

I love how anyone can be a credible source nowadays. Well, I want a Sly Cooper 5 or a reboot (4 was fucking atrocious for the most part) as anyone else but we got stop feeding the ego of these people.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Expose them all!

Karma bitch!

 

[anthony2690]

Is this guy Robert Serrano's cousin?

I'm honestly amazed as to why people even waste time with insiders.

The only ones with accuracy is insiderwtf, Tom Henderson (even if his good state opinion on stuff is dubious) & Jeff Grubb (awful speculations though)

 

[Werewolf Jones]

And why is this guy famous to begin with?

People get famous for nothing these days on the internet. It's fucking sad.

 

[ANDS]

The funny thing is that these days you can't tell the difference between "leakers" and "journalists"

Sure you can. A big hint is that one group actually produces reviewed work, the other doesn't.

. . . like what is this even meant to communicate?

 

[TintoConCasera]

I wish people could just stop giving a single fuck about what any "insider" has to say, since they are all there mainly because of the attention they get from the public.

It's pretty simple and even The Simpsons had this figured out years ago.

 

[Topher]

 

[nominedomine]

Once you understand what an insider is you realize that if they are out in the open they either are larping or they are doing PR for a company.

 

[ParaSeoul]

"The famous leaker"
More like the infamous bullshitter.

 

[ParaSeoul]

And why is this guy famous to begin with?

Hes not lmao,just one of those people who throw out random shit and the usual shit tier sites pick it up and run with it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

See, these insiders have some mental disorders to address. 'My sources'....is definitely the new 'My uncle works at Nintendo' ...maybe these people were the ones using that phrase when they were kids.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Am I understanding this correctly?

Basically he’s saying that a Sony source from his Xbox club told him this rumor was true.

I mean jeez an Xbox channel of all places.

 

[CosmicComet]

This dumbass thought Bend Studios (Days Gone) worked on Sly Cooper?

Lmao.

This is the same dude who said Microsoft was not acquiring Activision.

 

[Hendrick's]

Impeccable record.

 

[prinz_valium]

"famous industry insider Shpeshial_Nick"
LMAO

 

[yurinka]

Snother "insider" mading up "leaks". Nice to see Sony/Sucker Punch recently clearly debunked it clearly mentioning that nobody is working on Sly or Infamous:

[Umbasaborne]

these leakers need to seek some psychological help

They cant help themselves. They have literallly become addicted to the dopamime boost they get from new twitter followers and retweets, and they NEED to ride that high for as long as they can. So you have these desperate people popping up left and right because they have no self confidence and twitter interactions are the only way they can feel good about themselves

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[MasterCornholio]

He looks like a drug dealer.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[teezzy]

And why is this guy famous to begin with?

He isn't. Hes a staff member at XboxEra, also a regular on their podcast

XboxEra

Join the No.1 Xbox Community – Xbox Era was created to enable the passionate Xbox community to create and share content, articles, gameplay and opinions.

xboxera.com

Cool site if you're an Xbox fanboy like I am tbh

 

[Swift_Star]

I wish mods would ban insider threads. It’s tiresome at this point.

 

[nush]

We'll look back at 2022 as a year of "Leaker culture" and laugh/cringe.

The only thing they care about is building followers they can later milk for superchats and Pateron subs. Fake journalism for $$$.

 

[Crayon]

Ugh. I like Nick.

Some of my favorite people from here and era are actually the huge ms fanboys because I've been trolling them for years and years. It's a funny way to get to know someone, but you become familiar nonetheless.

I was surprised when he got into the weird position of an insider, tho. He never pretended to know anything and then he did. I didn't notice that transition. It's made me embarrassed for him. He's clearly done it to himself, but still.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

This guy sucks. Zero credibility and a console warrior.

His Sly Cooper "leak" was based on the Chess commercial (white vs black) from last summer, which had a bunch of Easter eggs in it.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

And why is this guy famous to begin with?

He started XboxEra after being banned on Era. He has nothing to talk about on his side so he uses Sony games to get people talking about him and his Podcast.

It works well because all his fake Sony rumors gets posted everywhere. Phil Spencer was even on his podcast

 

[DAHGAMING]

Hes been chatting shit for so long like most of these so called insiders. The only 1 that I will pay attention to is Jez Cordon, hes subtle about things and it feels he dosnt just do it for the clicks, I enjoy hes and Rands podcast aswell.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Since I’m not interested in this game and have no dog in this race, I will continue believing him because why fucking not.

Believe a supposed insider who gets his rumors and leaks about Sony games from an Xbox Discord channel? Sure, go right ahead.

 

[Elios83]

Loool industry insider
These people just want attention to see their followers, likes, subscribers grow.
But they're only one side of the problem.
The other is people starved for news who are willing to believe everything they say and take it for granted just because they got something right.

 

[Pelta88]

There's a recent thread which in part reads

"According to insider Shpeshial Nick"
