Ironically the leak is probably going to end up being a net-positive though and backfire on the angry employee, because of this leak, Xbox's TGS stream will likely be their most watched ever and that will solely be down to the fact that Forza Horizon 6 was leaked to be revealed at the event, usually Xbox's TGS is just port announcements and rarely a major announcement.

Forza Horizon 6 will be a huge announcement even with the leak, if it weren't leaked ahead of time then the vast majority of people would find out about Forza Horizon 6's announcement via a Twitter post, Lol. Even Xbox fans barely tune into the Xbox TGS Stream and the rest of the industry doesn't give a fuck. So this leak will actually end up being a benefit with now thousands of people tuning in solely to eagerly await Forza Horizon 6's announcement. So the leaker ended up just giving Microsoft's TGS team a bit of a win.

That would help increase interest, however, since it is in Japan it would most likely be in the middle of the night in the US. For example, the Xbox TGS 2023 showcase was at 18:00 JST / 2am PT / 5am ET. I guess they could go morning Japan time, which would be the night before in the US or much later in Japan so at least the east coast would be awake.

Damn, you're right, they'll probably still get a 200%+ increase in viewers from the American soldiers stationed overseas 💀

At least it's a decent time for UK and Europe so they'll still give a boost, Lol. In all seriousness, you'd think they would try to work out a time which works better for America but doesn't screw Japan since it is Forza Horizon.

Probably backs up my point even more though since very few Americans will bother watching the TGS stream live at those times but now some Forza Horizon hardcore fans might power through it just to see it live
