If BUNGiE wasn't planning on revealing anything yet what gave IGN the right to post leaked images? Is there not a law or something to stop that kind of thing?

What the hell BUNGiE? Kick their asses!

Also could they if they wanted to?

I think it was posted on Bnet first..?

Not sure, but either way seems like they were planning to be ready for an announcement, but had last minute changes that cancelled it.

Maybe not sue IGN because as far as I know they shouldn't be under NDA. The person who gave the images to IGN could definitely be sued, he was more than likely under NDA when bungie gave him the images.

I'm happy they showed it, getting me excited a little early.

IGN has every right to publish images people give them. It's the person who leaked the pictures they should be suing.

I do not think this is our concern.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

It's not a big deal; all is well.

You better close this sig when your done.

I like to think Bungie is pretty lenient when it comes to copyright stuff. Because really there is no need to get angry over stuff like that and it only hurts good people.

  • 11.29.2012 2:12 PM PDT

Progo, Shrew, Chryso, all are the same.

Why sue? A lot of the Bungie community likes IGN, I know I do.
Also IGN is internet based, suing the internet just creates hate.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

The relationship between game press and developers is an interesting one, isn't it? Each depends on each other and hopes that there is a mutual amount of trust and understanding.

The press wants access and information (on terms that are favorable to them and their audience) and the developer wants coverage (on their timeline and hopefully favorable).

Neither wants to burn any bridges or completely alienate the other, but both have their own priorities and agendas.

I suspect that this may be one of those moments where one party says "sorry dude, we'll try to make sure that this doesn't happen again, don't be too mad at us and forget to keep us on your list (here's some jerky)" and the other is "sheesh, can you at least try to work with us here, we want to be helpful, but you gotta understand our position (thanks for the jerky, send more soon)".

This.

People can hate IGN for whatever reason they wish (I happen to have my own), but disparaging them for doing their job is pants-on-head stupid.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

As far as I know, IGN didn't create the leak, it was brought to them from another source. Besides, any news is good news. Notice how everyone is all abuzz about Destiny now? Bungie has hype for a game they've said nothing about. I'd say IGN did them a huge favor.

Pffft.

For an ongoing supply of jerky, I would let a press outlet say just about anything about me.

I still believe Bungie intentionally leaked the images, to start the hype train.

It basically happens with every game now.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

This. So many times this.

Per Audacia Ad Astra

For IGN the concept art's state of being for Destiny being unconfirmed was a safe reason to post the images.
Everything was speculative.

IGN bought info from an informant. The informant broke an NDA (in all likelihood) and gave away things that weren't theirs to give away; IGN broke nothing.

IGN gives out good reviews for a nickel and a bottle cap. They're the cheap slut of the game-reviewing industry (the fact that it's become an industry now is quite upsetting).

I wouldn't be surprised. Do we know anything about this mystery source who obtained a few pieces of high-quality concept art before the game was even officially announced? A beta tester leaking some details about Skyrim DLC a week before release is one thing...this is quite another.

I have a feeling this site is going to become very busy in the coming weeks. I look forward to it.

Кланяються мені!

A few images and a small backstory. IGN didn't straight up announce Destiny prematurely. I think unless a serious breach such as leaked plot elements, early gameplay footage, ect would result in any type of serious action.
