I would think everyones thoughts on this matter are more or less the same, if there was any chance of a console manufacture sharing pre release information with these devs before this matter there is none at all now that you would share such sensitive information with people who would have a childish blowout like this, just really making other indies look bad when one goes off like this imo.

I hope they won't be so drastic, but I agree after this hissy fit they could become even more prudent and carefully evaluate not only talent and commitment, but also maturity of small devs before considering giving them early access to new HW or its specs. A talented but childish dev could not only leak confidential data if angry for some possibly childish reasons, but even just to brag, and console producers won't run this risk.

Aye especially not Nintendo, they felt that the Wii-U suffered a great deal from the popularity of tablet gaming which massively increased between the consoles reveal and launch, they have it in their mind that if they show off the special "gimmick" of their new system that it could be leaked and copied before they manage to bring their system to market.

And yeah... if a smaller dev signs an NDA but they've got "indie" amounts of cash in the bank, there is little that Nintendos Lawyers could sue from them if they breach the agreement.
