Welp, that settles that. Peace out, y'all. I'll watch from the sidelines too.
GL with the new gig, Aqua.

Why do you guys think this?
wtf is wrong with both of you.

I don't buy an intense back and forth between NPD management and a JPMorgan employee. Just doesn't seem plausible that you'd continue to post numbers after you were found out, especially if they confronted your employer.
Just go away. Don't bring this shit here.

Maybe it's true, just doesn't pass the smell test to me, so I'll just back off since obviously I can't prove anything either way and a mod hasn't verified the post.

While there are reliable DS and PSP numbers for February 2011, I didn't find anything confirming the leaked January numbers; that's why I didn't put them in the mix

I've personally had the NPD threats, I have no reason to doubt this story. Part of the reason I never went public with where I used to work was to ensure anything I post here never got back to my workplace.
Nah, the entire story about being supposedly reamed out regarding leaks. Removing yourself from GAF thanks to the publicity, and then turning around and saying "you can still find leaks at the Secret Place" like this account isn't being watched like a hawk. If her social media accounts were being pulled, especially at a place like JP Morgan, they would have been shut down immediately. None of this 'let me get a last goodbye in' attention-seeking nonsense. The holes in this story are large enough to drive a lorry through.Please tell me you are calling bullshit on NPD being assholes and not that Aqua is making all that shit up.

Let me as clear as possible: I don't believe a single word in that Tom Cruise manifesto. Nice tale, though.

Snip
I have to leave and take my coat
It seems I'm kept in writing mode
With a lot of riddles to decode
Life's a long and winding
Life's a long and winding road
Cosmic and Aqua both gone.
Fuck :/
Aqua's mistake was say where she work, it's easier to be identified. Anyway, thank you for everything aqua, we will miss you.
So wait, they know who Aquamarine is and set ultimatums (which means they would monitor the account). But they won't care when the last post contains "I will continue to leak". I mean what? This doesn't make sense at all. And what does "NPD Group-permitting" mean? When NPD Group allows leaks to occur?!?!? But they are vicious? I don't understand it at all. It's really weird.
Ah good save, good save. Keep forgetting Abdiel's name sometimes, I almost want to spell it as "Abedail" :S......none of those 3 work in retail
however, The Shogun (Gamestop), Abdiel (Best Buy), and Cornbread78 (Walmart) do
Yeah sorry about that x3; I remember reading about you mentioning that in another post in another NPD thread (maybe the last one?), I slipped up in proofreading before posting.I don't work in retail.
There's still Creamsugar I guess.Am I the last one giving out some number /retail hints?
Something I missed? Like is it time to go dark too?

Oh no Aqua!!!, now who's going to shine the light?... don't wanna have to rely on PR spin...
Yeah I'm guessing that's the real reason some people want to stop NPD numbers from getting leaked.Meh, this industry disgusts me where they try to nickel and dime you for every little thing, release broken unfinished products with expensive DLC and season-passes on empty promises. Where youtubers/people on twitter are way more popular than game-developers. To me it feels like the focus of those most involved/in the spotlight is all about money. Its a shame because numbers were always widely provided 6 years back. It wouldnt be to far off to guess some game-company or a combination of companys have urged NPD and the like to not share numbers in any form with the general public because it may harm their pr.
