It’s actually interesting seeing the beta X and Y stuff, and seeing how much Gamefreak legitimately had to compromise compared to previous gens. The game was set to have more dynamic camera angles for battles and animations that were higher quality, but seems like they cut it because of lag and the sheer amount of pokemon they were bringing into 3D.

Using a GF employee to leak personal private data is a crime and should be caught and they will as we all leave digital traces. As to game development leaks those will happen small and big but unless it was like a Nvidia T239 leak or such it's not going to change much since it's not release or in 3rd party test yet-unless they were and now someone got their dirty hands on it. As to the GF login they should be ashamed using company computers for personal reasons is why breaches happen in the first place. Yes we all do that but they also need to know what they can and can't and sites one should go to if they can't verify it's security and authenticity. So this leak is clearly fault of the GF employee and the hacker was a convenient catch all to find it.
@Ulysses I believe the playtest goes live on the 23rd, and 10,000 people or so signed up. The sign-up queue was filled almost immediately. There's not a snowball's chance in Hell that someone doesn't say something the moment/day it goes up. There's just no chance. If it didn't, I'd genuinely question if the world was ending.
@Ulysses The NSO Playtest not getting many rumors is weird, but if it's true that we won't truly get this feature until 2025, it makes sense why we're not hearing that much. There's some things like the 19.0.0 Switch update messing with some GameCube controller connection and the supposed new GameCube controller releasing that seem to point to GameCube NSO, but at this point it's mostly just speculation. From what we've been hearing, this is what I understand:
We're supposed to hear about it on the 20th (or 21st depending on region)
The Playtest software is 2.2 GB
Seemingly releasing 2025 (if Playtest feature is the same one as the supposed tease in the Nintendo newsletter)
Playtest starts next week and ends on same day as earnings release
An announcement Friday could happen, but since Mario Party was Thursday it decreases the chances quite a bit. We could definitely see something on Sunday (about the NSO stuff), but not sure if this relates to the Switch Successor.

Are you seriously blaming GameFreak employees for this? Really? I've heard some garbage takes on these forums over the years but this is by far the most offensive

An opinion is only respectable if it can be defended. Respect people, not opinions
@SwitchForce It’s insanely insensitive to point the finger at a Gamefreak employee over a databreach. That’s not how these sorts of things work, and most of the employees are just doing their job. People can get into servers of a company without someone “browsing the internet” on a work computer. Data can be compromised in many other ways.

Oct. 17th and still nothing about the playtest, no leaks, hints or anything 🥺
Who here thinks we could get an announcement on Friday of a Switch Successor Direct for Sunday, Oct.20th?? I do 🥹
Crikey, I'd already forgotten about the playtest, and I'm registered to take part!
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
I certainly think Nintendo is internally ready and have been for some time. If they don’t present the Next Switch until next year, then they’re sitting on their resources and waiting for a different market landscape than what they’re seeing now, says I
