So lets flip the script for a moment. You run a business and create a ip or product that will release soon but someone inexplicably leaks your product which in turn releases factual information for everyone to see. The leaker signed a nda waiver but still choose to leak your product.
You take it upon the person who leaked it.
I come across your leaked product and review the credibility of said leak and determine it real
Because it's real
- then choose to go to my own very popular youtube channel which has 2million subscribers and begin to interject my opinion based off the facts of the leak. I never signed your NDA. but i know this product isnt released yet and wont yet until a few weeks still. My discussion of your product is less than favorable and im certainly entitled to my opinion. What will you do when you come across my channel? Will you let me rock? And potentially influence my viewer base prematurely, based off my opinion on your unreleased product?
The full product won't undo the stupidity of the writing just like it never undid the stupidity of any other situation like this. Never.
You just want to use the blatantly biased reviews and sales of people unaware of the terrible plot to force the narrative that it's a good story. This happens all the time. A minority is still in denial it was TLJ that crippled SW.
See the comment right above mine. ND isn't pushing a narrative, yeah, because they would've had the media push it for them, except now they got blindsided and they can't use reviews to spin that stuff positively.
Hence they get Schreier to defend ND while they cockblock leaks on youtube.
I mean come on this isnt rocket science some of these channels are using the current situation as clickbait for views
Yeah, so? Media is controversy. Or do you mean only the "gaming" "journalists" can use clickbait?
, thats fine but wait until its a free for all. I dont think naughty dog would take any issue of people forming their own opinions and discussing there game that is open for review once released. these are fairly decent sized channels discussing something that very simply wasnt open for discussion yet based off of leaked facts.
Of course, because they got media doing the shilling. Again, it happens all the time, every time someone pulls a TLJ they always defend it.
So YES i think ND is within their right to request the content in question be removed that could potentially effect public opinion of their game, until the appropiate time.
Until the reviews told you what to think?
Doesnt matter if the person signed a NDA or not Naughty Dog are too excersing their rights to protect their product.
How about write a story that doesn't suck?
It doesnt matter that the youtuber never uploaded video or still images, they are still discussing talking points based off facts that were not ready to be disclosed yet and that got leaked.
Which is not illegal. Basically the only thing missing is the ending spoilers, which don't undo what we do know.
To say this is just Naughty Dog or sony trying to silence people is just silly, If you put any company in this situation i can assure you there response would more than likely be to remove the content in question
This is true, every time they f* up the plot and people learn about it, it's the same reaction from the producers.
GOT8 story was leaked and people thought it was so terrible it couldn't possibly be real, until it was.
If this type of behavior is allowed permissable going foward then one could imagine the ramifications of people with a platform talking about things prematurely, and under their own 'narrative' at that. The leaker is still in the wrong. But whats right is right, wait until the proper time to interject your opinion on a channel or channels you obviously earn monetary gain or clout from.
tl;dr "wait until they got people's money thus enabling them to write more of this * then complain to no avail".
And people say the "don't ask questions, just consume product" is not real.
