The famous industry insider Shpeshial_Nick admits his source for Sly Cooper scoop was a post on r/GamingLeaksAndRumors containing dead 4chan links

He had a serious Sony hateboner during a podcast when they were talking Starfield & RedFall delays so I've never put stock in him when it came to Sony-related rumors or leaks. This and SP's own statement the other day just solidify that for me.

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

They revere these insiders the way people in the Dark Ages revered the popes. And we saw what that led to....

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:

Good that they are debunking the rumor BS, but bad (IMO) that there's really no one even working with Sly Cooper. InFamous I can understand, but Sly? Still lots of potential with that IP just sitting there dormant.

Only credible leakers I remember off the top of my head are ntktnl and the recent snitch guy.

One posted Xbox leaks and the other PS leaks with basically 100% accuracy.

The rest are fakes or just get lucky shotgunning random stuff where some of it will be true.

Just remember how hilarious it was when Series X was 12 tf and PS5 10 tf when all those insiders a few years ago were all over the place from 9 - 14 tf. Only a handful got the systems right and that could had been lucky guesses too.

99% of these guys know nothing.

As usual there counter response will be “well, my info was accurate at that time but the company changed it last minute”.

This guy is a total fraud. Not sure how Grubb is banned here and this guy isn’t. Grubb nailed the Kojima thing and a bunch of other stuff. He definitely has real sources.

Heck I even saw a really fake leak that said the PS5 could drop to 4TFs due to its variable clocks. Crap ton of people were making things up where power was concerned.
