MrMallard 11/27/18 7:13:27 PM #8:	SSJCAT posted... i dont really like when people leak stuff. its kinda shitty I remember the hype around Sun/Moon before they were revealed. We had a day left before they were set to announce the new titles - 24 hours - and some shithead leakers found the copyright and ruined the surprise. I don't hate leaks entirely, the Fallout 4 leaks were really cool, but I dislike leaks like uploading the Smash Ultimate ROM to the internet early. We knew that Smash was releasing in December, and we were one day away from learning the official names of Sun/Moon - we can wait for this shit. Fallout 4 was shrouded in secrecy until like 5 months before launch, and the leaks came off the back of an ARG hoax that left a lot of folks bitter. Just... leak responsibly, and don't be greedy. This garbage behavior is why companies invest in shitty DRM and go fucking nuclear on copyright strikes. --- God bless us, all of us - even those who shun the light Now playing: Stardew Valley, FFX, Yakuza 4, Skyrim, Paladins <cite>MrMallard posted [p:913147875] in The Smash ...

I don't think it matters that much otherwise unless people use it to spoil others to troll. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:913148034] in The Smash ...

The game is out there, by holding to the broken street date they're just punishing legitimate customers. Friend of mine paid and predownloaded the game - why the hell not let him play?
