Suppose you park your car in a area known for car thefts and don't lock the door. Your car gets stolen. Should you have locked your door? Yes. Likewise, leaks are a known risk. The longer you hold out on announcing the more likely your anouncement is to be spoiled. It's not right, but it's reality. |
I do appreciate the analogy, especially as you highlight the action itself is not justified regardless of some portion of the audience demanding "transparency"... It's Nintendo's software lineup, not your local politician lol
But ultimately I think too much emphasis is put on the time sensitivity of the leaks. Donkey Kong was a surprise to me but only announced 4months ahead of time, things can be kept in check.
The issue really is the leakers & the whole clout chasing system by people like Nate, it's industry wide. Tbh I suspect earlier announcements will just typically lead to earlier leaks... It is what it is.
