This isn't an employee leaking a game reveal, someone hearing something from a contact, an accidental store listing, a presentation on a train. This is a deliberately damaging criminal act, done to hurt people and make money.
Don't share or report on the information.

The Insomniac "leak" is more than that - it was an intentional criminal act intended to blackmail for a large amount of money. Nobody paid up, so now a company's game, long-term project plans, and personal private employee details doxed and leaked.
It's unacceptable and wrong.

Does anyone else find the PSVR 2 incredibly uncomfortable? I can play the Quest 3 for ages - but 25 minutes in the PSVR and my neck gives up.

Heard from someone who used to visit the Norwich Games Festival today who just got a job as a software engineer - who shared that it was the festival that set them on the path. Thrilled for them!

I'm 75 hours into Tears of the Kingdom and I've not helped even one of the four towns. Just can't get enough of finding Koroks and helping them on their merry little way.

Absolutely love throwing a new VR feature past Emily to see if it makes her feel sick or not - very quick feedback; headset is usually off in 5 seconds if it's not right.
