| DonFerrari said: This type of document yes very few should have access to and leak. The leaking itself could give margin for lawsuits (but since she broke NDA herself, or at least that is the claim, that could lose some weight, although in some countries like Brazil she breaking NDA wouldn't be considered as troublesome as the company at least to our judges that mostly side with employees/contractors). Yes she just saying the journalists are trustworthy is perfectly fine (although the wording seems to indicate more to the document than their credentials, she had already said they were trustworthy on a different tweet), and sure it is likely that PG just said to her the documents is real, but if they said they leaked document them they would be making her an accomplice of something unethical or illegal. |
Yeah, if PG were to clue her in on that, I don't expect it would be through a direct admission, but rather implying that the documents are real. Perhaps by saying something like "it appears we have a problem in Platinum Games with someone leaking information to the press. We will look into it and make sure that doesn't happen again".
Or probably something even more subtle like "we'll make sure the truth of the matter gets to the public eventually, don't worry."
Because it is likely a crime, so the fewer that know, the less likely it'll go to court.
But on that note, I think both parties will want to avoid making this a legal matter now.
They know that Hellena Taylor (probably) won't do that because she admitted to breaking NDA. So she will get punished as well. That may also be why they may have felt more comfortable leaking the documents than they normally would.

To behonest that would be bad for Platinum and expose them to a lawsuit. HR information really cannot be shared outside of the company in most countries and documents like this leaked or otherwise presents a big risk of Platinum exposing themselves to a nice pay day for Taylor. They just should present a statement that the info is false and moved on. Anything more than that could allow things to spiral down a legal path they really do not want to go. |
Well Helena Taylor admitted in public that she broke NDA, and presented the same kind of information to the public. So I find it hard to believe she would try to push for a lawsuit here, if Platinum leave her alone for that one. Becasuse if she does, they'll go after her for what she admitted on camera. And it'll be a lot easier for them to prove who was behind the NDA breach on her side.

Taylor seems to be a TERF (if she is even a feminist at all; gives slight fundamentalist vibes, which is odd considering Bayonetta's character) and supports fascist propaganda in the vein of "Blue Lives Matters", Kamiya has consistently expressed moderately xenophobic sentiments (possibly by accident, but hardly excuses it), and Hale only apologized for sharing her ableist conspiracy theory not for having it in the first place. My position is just going to remain: workers (no matter what their contribution is; or their moral integrity) need to be paid more than they currently are, investors need to be paid less dividends than they currently are. This is even if the workers included people with bad takes, and the investors include only angels who are "morally pure." Pay people for working, not for managing property and playing the arbitrage game. |
If Hale is a conspiracy theories, then it seems more likely that she just retweeted those stories because she trusts the track record of the journalists, etc.
