People who have access to private YouTube videos are likely responsible for leaking information about games on State of Play

On 31 May, the PlayStation State of Play presentation took place. However, a couple of hours before the event, the entire list of games appeared on the Internet. Who is responsible for this information leak?

Here's What We Know

Journalist Tom Henderson wrote that about 18 hours after the presentation was scheduled to be shown on YouTube, four different people sent him the full list of games. The names of some games were slightly different from others, probably due to different regions, but they were all correct.

One person even said that the information was sold to an unknown person for a small three-figure sum, who then told him to distribute it to more people for authenticity.

The presentation itself was a recorded video, not a live stream, so it is likely that people with access to private YouTube videos are responsible for these leaks.

According to PushSquare, Google has conducted an investigation into how these leaks occur, but all the details of this process remain unknown. It is also unclear how many employees may have access to private uploads and similar information. But if information continues to leak - and not just about games - there is no doubt that Google will be forced to do something.
