What's the point of an NDA if it's not enforced?

Sue them or do whatever you have to do and shut up. There's no need to act like it's the end of the world.

 

[Saber]

Media outlet that breaks NDA is not the same thing as a fan leaking the game.

They didn't knew this before the start of investigation.

The damage in this context would be revealing info that Nintendo/Pokémon Company don't want revealed early which can impact advertising?

Ok...and? Did Sun Moon starter leaks affect them in anyway? Or X and Y? Or Black and White?Oh and btw, those leaked very earlier(Sun and Moon particulary).

I don't think damage in this context relates to sales of the game.

Oh ok so the irreparable injury is just demented word or something like it to boost the effect of the drama. Whats next, use of the words "Doomed"?

The game is decent in my opinion.

Ok, I have notice in the patern of your likes.

Serebii guy, if you're reading this please defend Game Freak from those bad guys.

In legal terms it can refer to breach of contract or damage to reputation. So basically... Yeah?

Not sure what this means.

Not really. Unless you didn't read what I posted. They didn't knew who leaked the info, even at the start of investigation lol

So nowhere can be counted as a company hunting down the leakers because of breach of contract. And even so, lets say they were hunting fans for leaking, what would be the reason for their major overdrama of something that aways happens because of their own fault?

Nah its not greedy, lets get some defense force at our side by spout "major injury" and see if works.

or damage to reputation among other minor things. Injury in legal terms can be broadly applied.

The reason would be deterants. Get people to stop leaking by setting an example.

How are the leaks their fault if they do everything in their power to prevent them?

You say this as if they care what some people on the internet have to say on this?

Applied over in the internet? Sure thing, just dunno why make it like the end of world.

You and PC are centuries later on this matter.

How are the leaks their fault if they do everything in their power to prevent them?

And how do you know they "do everything in their power" to prevent them? Like they did before lol?

You say this as if they care what some people on the internet have to say on this?

Well, they cared enought to even give an answer over "what people said on the internet"(unless you pretend that their reaction over the twitter replies is nothing). Seriously though, at this point I feel like I'm talking to Serebii.

 

[ryan13ts]

The only thing that caused "irreparable injury" to their brand was them shitting out an unfinished, rushed game out the door even though they knew it was underbaked.

Definitely shitty on that site to break NDA and leak stuff, but let's be real; It didn't do jack to affect the sales of the games. If anything, just did the opposite, since everyone was drooling from the mouth wanting leaks and that just fed the hype.

 

[Gargus]

But the game still sucked anyway as far as pokemon games go.

 

[Shaqazooloo]

It's a very standard use of the word from what I can tell, don't know why people are so hung up on it.

And how do you know they "do everything in their power" to prevent them? Like they did before lol?

They clearly don't want them to happen and they take steps to prevent it from happening, people getting a hold of things early and then leaking it is not a result of lack of precautions. I mean they flew a guy out to retrieve an early sold copy of X & Y IIRC.

Although the Sun & Moon leak was a dumb and (I assume anyway) preventable ( just don't release the demo...) so I'll give you that. Seems more to do with Game Freaks incompetence as a dev if anything though.

Well, they cared enough to even give an answer over "what people said on the internet"(unless you pretend that their reaction over the twitter replies is nothing).

What are you referring to here? It's possible I might've missed a statement they've made.

Seriously though, at this point I feel like I'm talking to Serebii.

Uhhh... Ok? Honestly I don't know why you guys bring him up so often over here, he's a loser and doesn't deserve anyones time or attention.

Gamefreak/TPC were asking for this. If you read the court document, they practically admitted they wanted to keep the shoddy state of the game a secret

Just finished reading through. It's definitely dicey depending on how you take it, in the context of this document though, it would be them saying they want to keep some things a surprise for launch since they only reference the new stuff that was revealed.

If I missed something here or I'm misunderstanding let me know, but I didn't see any reference to the game as a whole being leaked and them wanting to keep it a secret due to poor design rather the new stuff that was revealed.

 

[GymWolf]

Imagine being mad when you made a game with 100 dollars and you earn billions from it...

 

[Saber]

Shaqazooloo I was trying to messing with you when I brough Serebii and for that I'm sorry.

I already was guessing that, judging the way they were acting of something that aways happened with their games.
