Leaks and spoilers - Discussion
Apex has recently shown me why spoilers and some leaks, quite frankly, suck. Yep, im looking at you, Defiance Megaleak. For the uninitiated, someone datamined Apex back in Defiance (Season 12) and ...

@Cheese9Man This is true. Though I'd say if a dev is leaking stuff they have determined the leaks build hype that is good for the game. Likely fills the no content void.
@hayhor I just don't want anyone at Respawn getting into trouble for leaking stuff 😅
- @ExpertEpic99 I don't think they do. I'd guess they are told they can and it's probably planned.
- @hayhor Devs are never allowed to do any kind of leaks. Most times the leaks come from testers and the amount of them has increased because of the work from home model that is way more insecure.
Leaks happen because devs need to build versions of the game that contain unreleased stuff in order to test & tweak. It's a pretty difficult job to remove all the extra stuff completely each time there's a new release version and also not a good idea to bloat the build with fake stuff to obfuscate the data miners. Therefore, there will be a lot of leaks in the future, as well.
However, this won't stop Respawn from making great teasers. There's only a few players that actually check the leaks, the vast majority of them don't care and enjoy the release of new content as it's supposed to be. This is why there's no need to spend too many resources to fight against leaks.- @DoYaSeeMe There have been leaks directly credited to devs with no denial. Actually the lead dev poked fun at it. Maybe some games its not allowed but it sure seems like the apex team is promoting it.
