STOP LEAKING GAME INFORMATION

It really sucks that people data mine Apex and leak things to the whole world. Future legends, weapons, lore: it was designed as a surprise and I am disgusted that people don't respect that. If Respawn don't want things about the game to be leaked, then you shouldn't!

Just because data miners want to get information doesn't everybody wants it. I personally want future features to be a surprise and not expected due to leaks.

Just wondering: is it possible to lock game files to developers only? If so, then try it!

    Same thing could be sayd about making cheats.

    As long as there are people that want it there will be people trying to provide.

    Locking files to tightly making working with it harder / impossible has bigger consequences then the occasional leak.

    @CompleatBeet Just dont read them. I hardly ever get wind of a leak up until the last moments.

    It can also be said that if devs didn’t want to leak stuff, they wouldn’t put stuff in game files. They sometimes do this just as notes and not as vital scripts.

    So maybe they want certain info to go out to hype the public. Actually, I’m pretty sure this is a tactic. I say this cause sometimes the info is dead on... other times it’s so far off that it’s laughable.

    It’s getting into public view 101.

    "If Respawn don't want things about the game to be leaked, then you shouldn't!"

    Than EA Respawn should keep the unleased stuff on their storage devices 🙂. I wouldn't worry though, Apex won't last another year with these kind of updates.

    Respanw purpusely leave "bread crumb trail" to be "discovered (aka leaked)" to keep thing mysterious and exciting. 

    It's part of their marketing strategy to keep community curious what is coming up and keep the hype on.

    Imagine if you had total "vacuum" for 3 months, that is eternity in gaming world, people will play other games and forget about Apex until the next update show up. 

    Some players might come back, while other will keep playing other games.

    Respawn wants people keep playing their games, they need the lobby full.

    Don't you ever wonder why the challenges are so easy : "Play 1 game" or "Play 2 games" ?  

    Don't you wonder why they leave "easter egg" ?

    If you want surprise and don't want leak, simply don't read/see it.
