Streamer Confesses To Breaking Multiple NDAs "For Clout"

[@FrostyyLemurr]

Right?! I mean I would assume that anyone who wanted to get away with this stuff would be using a burner phone with no sim with an always on vpn to access the leaker account. For like 200 bucks this would never happen. This is basic opsec. Of course I wouldn't ever bother leaking most of the bs he did. NDAs are important to prevent corporate espionage, and unless your leak is important to the public good, (like prism or something like Facebook app recording with the app closed) it really isn't acceptable. These types of leaks just mean that gaming companies will be less able to get community feedback early in the development cycle. Literally just makes gaming worse for everyone.

[@MrAndre2022]

i dont think he was committing a crime, as NDAs are civil law. These companies have to use NDAs in order to be able to show they have taken steps to protect their intellectual property, witch is required if you want to copywrite it. The companies should be protected enough in this matter just by having the NDAs in place but it can cause hell of a headache for them if they have to track down and follow up on people misusing this information. the Allen guy would be liable for that cost.

[@shana_dmr]

Every gamedev company gets NDAs broken from time to time, it's sometimes easy especially when you hire freelancing companies like 99.9% of AAA companies these days - it leads to lines of subcontractors where you might not even broken your own NDA but your contractor NDA. It's mostly a tool to get people in the industry marked as untrustworthy publicly.

[@klaykid117]

I don't know what pseudo law this is but that's not what NDA is hard at all it's not to protect copyright?! It stands non-disclosure agreement it's a contract signed which probably has penalties outlined so they'll take him to court and tell the judge he broke this contract now we want him to pay the penalties that he agreed to if he broke this contract he will get a chance to argue that maybe it was for a good reason but in this case definitely not.

[@DragoonLord0]

[@charlesedwinbooks]

To touch on the verbal countract thing "if you say yes to this thing, that is a contract and is still binding." Yeah, absolutely. You just don't usually hear about it because its a much more difficult to prove that this consent and agreement actually took place. But, if you can, it absolutely counts. It's like if you verbally made a contract on facebook market place "Im selling a $40 calculator do you want to buy this?" "Yes I do." "Great, do you want to meet at my house?" "sure." "Okay bring cash, come alone, drive up in a blue car and if you don't then you agree to pay $60." "Sounds good. Be there soon." And then you don't show up in a blue car and instead ask to pay by sending Paypal funds, now you're obligated to pay $60. There might be more nitty gritty complications with that example, but, you get the point. If you 2 parties agree to do something, it can be binding.

[@Sykone4717]

Breaking NDA is not committing a crime. It's a civil issue not a criminal one.

[@Sykone4717]

Again you're both wrong. It is not a crime, it is a merely a civil action to obtain monetary damages as a result of someone else's actions. If no damages can be proven then there isn't even a lawsuit to be had unless the contract specifically outlines penalties and he refuses to pay them. Civil != criminal

[@ryanthompson3737]

Depends on the extent of that breach. One can reasonably be charged for committing a criminal offense by leaking internal documents stored on private servers. The access to those private servers is predicated on signing the NDA, so breaching that NDA would automatically revoke any rights to accessing those private servers. If someone at Ubisoft were to publish actual documentation held on those servers, the breach of the NDA would also constitute a criminal offense, even if the breach of contract isn't itself a criminal offense. This is why, unless you're a lawyer arguing in court, the difference really doesn't matter. They can easily require the viewing to be on company held servers and computers and make the contract null and void upon ANY breach of any of the other contracts. This would allow him to get away with the first leak, but would make every other leak an unauthorized access of their computers. The law is generally broad enough that snooping through someone else's computer left unlocked is also considered a crime.

4:54 No, breaking a contractual stipulation is not a "crime". The stipulations within the contract are not laws. They can sue him. And if they can prove he entered into the contract with bad intentions then they can prosecute for a crime. But otherwise, not a crime... just a shameful action.

I would love to tell Twitter about a game adaptation in development but can't. The urge to fight those likes is really tough lol. Entertainment companies get serious about it-- I know someone who was a talent agent assistant and told someone about the financing of a movie that was already 2+ years old. Because she "leaked" information about a movie that was already out, not only was she fired her name spread through the industry, and she couldn't get another job in industry.

I genuinely don't get the appeal for breaking NDA. Especially today when it feels like fans are primarily angry at people for breaking NDA. But to me as a fan and as a business person, I cannot fathom breaking an NDA. From a business standpoint, it's helpful and good business to be in good standing so I can obtain early codes, review codes, and ask questions directly to the PR / developers. It's wise to keep those relationships healthy. From a fan standpoint, I'm excited to play some of my most anticipated and hyped games early. Getting to see it and experience it sooner than later is a beautiful and treasured privilege.

[@D_Abellus]

Something to also mention about NDA law. If an NDA is signed over an action that in itself is illegal, then the NDA is actually non-binding and is void. An example from a real crime I researched: A serial rapist forced his victims to sign NDAs and threatened to sue them if they ever spoke out. This was not a high profile case, it was actually a story that broke out in a small city. He was only caught by one woman finally speaking out. I think the reports were somewhere between 5-10 known victims of the guy too. It's been years since I researched this, but if you are ever forced to sign an NDA check to see if the contractor is actually just trying to hide a crime committed against you, because you cant be sued over breaking an illegal NDA.

[@lliamthrumble]

For the lawyer/ getting sued thing. They have to prove it caused damages. Like leaking the name of a game, well you can't prove people suddenly never bought the game because they found out the name too early so no they can't really sue at all. Well they can but it gets thrown out. The better way to make an example is to limit information for a short while and to make it extremely known that its because of the leaks. Way more impact.

Yong comes across as self righteous in this video.

[@who__cares__]

Ngl I was blindsided by this cause I actually liked and watched his vids especially when he interviewed the VAs from the games like damn dude

[@ShinraEQ]

Whoa this guy looks exactly like Buck Angel

[@noBody-ue6cs]

3:00 what Asmon is describing is whistleblowing versus the scumbag shit Dan Allen was doing for selfish purposes.

39:32 bro why is that so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ethan-fel]

Damn i had completely forgotten YongYea, stopped looking at his video after Cyberpunk. Stellar review before the launch and when the community started complaining he forgot about his review, weirdly.

[@flixeyt]

With a name like 'Dan Allen', what did we really expect

[@abahgaming2143]

Sometimes the company/devs itself intentionally releases the leaks for their own benefits.

[@pizzalord4858]

That guy was having too much fun lmao

[@marcocrisci2383]

so in the case of the gta 6 leaker, he basically leaked the source code and vital information. He can get sued rightfully and probably get jail time correct?

[@tomasxfranco]

Asmon does not understand the difference between civil and criminal remedies.

[@Aethelbeorn]

Hed have gotten away with it too if he had a dedicated machine just for his alt account.

[@JobberJerry]

He just screwed himself once they find out then your no longer getting the special privilege they gave you in the first place so why would you screw that up? To be picked to see/play games before release is something most people would sell their sole to be apart of and to just flush it away is got to be the dumbest thing ever
