YouTuber leaks Assassin’s Creed showcase for clout
Insider gaming leaks peaked in 2022. While there was endless grist for the rumor mill, the high stakes got the better of some people. In September, YouTuber Dan Allen Gaming admitted to being behind the Twitter account TheRealInsider which leaked Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed showcase, including unannounced games codenamed Red and Hexe set in Japan and Europe.
TheRealInsider Dan Allen was not, with the info coming directly from Ubisoft under embargo. The confession came after he accidentally tweeted as himself from the insider account, prompting Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier to spot other similarities between Dan Allen and TheRealInsider’s tweets. “I’m sorry to everyone for my actions,” Dan Allen later tweeted, followed by a five-minute apology video.
