[Punished Miku]

Imran Khan is probably Tier 1

 

[Wastelander92]

And yet people still link to Zippo lol.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Imran Khan is probably Tier 1

The former prime minister of Pakistan is a tier 1 gaming insider? /s

 

[Jaybe]

Tom Henderson is Insider Gaming lol
Aside from that, the only use of any of the Tier 2 and below is sometimes a Tier 1 will jump in and correct them with the actual information.

 

[Z O N E]

If it's not Tier 1, don't even bother listening to them.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

MLID is gonna get triggered

 

[MDSLKTR]

Who invited this mf on the list lol, I don't think even zealots believed him

 

[Black_Stride]

Lance McDonald?
I like the guy but is he even a leaker of stuff?
Ive been following him for reverse engineering but not so much for information.

DuskGolem knows.....i think they just throw random misinformation for the fuck of it.....so it makes sense they are 50/50, but its worth listening to what they have to say.







MLiD should be in the Clickbbait tier.
When hes right its almost always because its information another leaker already leaked.
When he is wrong......its like not even close and clearly the video was made for the clicks.

Billbill Kun is very reliable as well

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Billbill Kun is very reliable as well

He missed a big one recently, but I agree that he usually is very reliable.

Rumor - billbil-kun: Returnal and Assassin's Creed Valhalla to be included in the April 2024 Humble Choice

Update: It looks like the leaker was completely wrong with this one. Full list: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Returnal Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood Champion of Gaia Edition Noita Fashion Police Squad BLACKTAIL Pâquerette Down the Bunburrows Spirittea

That explains why he is Tier 2

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It would be interesting if there was a ranking of which leakers state info first. And who tags along like saying they heard the same, but really is just copying someone else.

Someone should do a test. Tom Henderson makes up a rumour and see who copies him.

In fact, I read somewhere that dictionary book makers do that. They purposely add in a made up word. And whomever has it later is then known to be a copier. Map companies do the same. They add inn a fake street.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

That explains why he is Tier 2

Yeah! And btw, he was 4 out of 4 for the stuff he leaked this week. XD

 

[Cyborg]

DuskGolem needs to be higher

 

[MDSLKTR]

DuskGolem needs to be higher

Not after what he pulled with RE Village performance.

 

[splattered]

I don't even know who the majority of these people are

 

[splattered]

Not after what he pulled with RE Village performance.

I wish people would get over that already.

Agenda or not he actually does seem to have a lot of inside information.

Wasn't that whole thing due to humble bundle trying to infiltrate who was leaking their Choice bundles? They put out a fake email to see who'd bite.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, he got fed wrong information intentionally so technically not a miss. Still...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Who was the guy a year or so ago who kept leaking upcoming YT videos and what would be shown in Sony or MS showcases? Was it Insider-Gamer? He was rumoured to be a YT employee so he saw everything beforehand. He had a Twitter account spilling the beans.

That guy should be top tier. He must of had a 90%+ hit rate.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Nick should be higher for sure, at least his rumor mill on the podcast.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

How is Colt Eastwood even considered an insider? He's just a newly PC gamer that's grifting the Xbox hopium for super chats.

 

[Revolutionary]

None of these zoomers know about the GOAT

CBOAT

DuskGolem needs to be higher

LMAO
He's the living embodiment of "even a broken clock is right twice a day". I'll admit he has a better track record as of recently, but it doesn't make up for all the diarrhea that spewed from his mouth back when he was on GAF

 

[RagnarokIV]

What about my mate Kurakasis

 

[MudoSkills]

But I thought that complete and utter moron Dusk had retired (many times).

I fucking hate him.

 

[Deleted member 848825]

Where's Tim Dog, hes a bit of leaker too isnt he?

Ah yes. Thats him. Thanks.

 

[Dick Jones]

DuskGolem needs to be higher

He was previously caught lying about Resident Evil to make Xbox Series seem better than the PS5. Can't trust a leaker who has admitted to being caught up in fanboy wars. If you lie once you could do it again.

He was the GOAT,the only guy I would've trusted had he said a Bloodborne 2 is coming.

 

[solidus12]

His rumor that the Xbox Series was outselling the PS5 worldwide was crazy.

 

[FUBARx89]

DuskGolem needs to be higher

Duskgolem is a tool. This was after the whole RE8 isn't 4k and running like hot shit at 1080p on PS5 cause Xbox "needed some good coverage"

 

[TheGodfather07]

DuskGolem needs to be higher

Maybe he would have been if he didn't have a meltdown and claim resident evil village was in a rough state on PS5 whilst it was still in the middle of development! Like, no fucking shit! Then to bury himself even further, he said that because "there was too much negative xbox news" and made himself look like a compete ass. What a stupid way to hurt your reputation.

 

[TVexperto]

jason scheisser shouldnt be on that list

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Interesting.

 

[DForce]

Jez should be 50/50

 

[Imtjnotu]

If it doesn't come from Tom or HeisenbergFX4 I dont give a shit.

Leaking stuff a few days from announcements, including random shit nobody cares about… that guy is such a twat.

He sold his account to some Mexican “influence” or something and quit before (or maybe after) he got himself fired most likely.

[cormack12]

I wouldn't really class 'Schreier' as a leaker tbh. He's more breaking news imo? Usually about crunch or blue hairs having 10 minutes knocked off their 2hr lunch.

Like what he does is much different to Tom H and Pyoro, No?

 

[Sojiro]

If it doesn't come from Tom or HeisenbergFX4 I dont give a shit.


RGT should also be put on the banned list

Are you talking about that RGT 85 guy? If so I didn't know he leaked stuff, but he does run a lot of YT videos of any leaked news that is circulating for the week even the more bullshit stuff. If he is "leaking" shit I would add him to the list as well, I highly doubt he has ever had any inside info.
