Current Events > Metal Gear Solid & Silent Hill remakes not true; leaker admits to lying

(+) Yeah! (+)

Leaks suggesting a new Silent Hill game and Metal Gear Solid remake were on their way are bulls***, according to a gaming industry insider who was outed this week as a YouTuber breaking non-disclosure agreements with publishers.

It was revealed this week by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier that popular YouTube videomaker Dan Allen Gaming was behind the insider Twitter account TheRealInsider, which had been responsible for leaking a bunch of information including every Assassins Creed game announced at the recent Ubisoft Forward presentation. Dan Allen has now admitted to being the individual behind the account, and using his position as a YouTuber to receive embargoed material from game companies, then breaking those embargoes in order to share the information on TheRealInsiders Twitter account.

Dan Allen Gaming reveals truth behind Silent Hill and MGS leaks
Dan Allen owned up to his actions in a video titled Im sorry, in which he apologized to his viewers and said that he had leaked the embargoed information for clout. However, Dan noted that while the Assassins Creed leak was the result of him receiving that information from Ubisoft, other leaks he posted were either educated guesses or outright false. These fake leaks included a new Silent Hill game and a Metal Gear Solid remake.
