Som du kanske minns drabbades Nintendo av en rejäl Pokémon Sword/Shield-läcka förra året, något de inte såg på med blida ögon. Nu meddelar Nintendo och The Pokémon Company att de tagit rätt på vilka de skyldiga var, och bryter därmed samarbetet helt med både inblandade personer och sajten ifråga. De skriver:
"In early November, Nintendo identified a number of photographs taken from game play that revealed multiple new and unannounced Pokemon from Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield," the companies wrote in a joint statement.
These photographs had been posted online and Nintendo, together with The Pokemon Company, quickly identified the person responsible for these leaks, and took immediate action.
These Pokemon were leaked by a reviewer for the Portuguese website FNintendo, who had received an early copy of the game for review purposes. Both he and FNintendo failed to handle confidential material, resulting in a clear breach of the confidentiality agreement between Nintendo and the media outlet. As a result, Nintendo will no longer work with FNintendo."
Nintendo poängterar dessutom att dessa läckor "hurt not just Nintendo, but the thousands of employees who work hard to bring games to market, and the millions of fans around the world who look forward to news and surprises" samt att de lovar att "pursue all avenues to preserve surprises for players of future Pokemon titles".
Föga otippat meddelar även FNintendo att de kapat alla band till personen som läckte allt. Samarbetet med Nintendo är dock över och vi gissar att de inte kommer få några fler chanser på mycket länge.
