Google ruined several Nintendo announcements, According to Report
According to 404 Media, Google has accidentally collected and leaked information over the years. The source had access to a database where privacy and security incidents from 6 years, from 2013 to 2018, are recorded.
From their perspective, this clearly shows that the company has poor management of user information. However, they clarify that most of the issues were resolved without major problems and affected a small number of people.
What is interesting for gamers is that the report reveals that a Google employee had access to several private videos on Nintendo's YouTube channel. The issue is that they leaked the announcements they saw before they were officially released.
It is detailed that the access to the videos was not intentional; however, the information reached the internet prematurely. It is known that the leaks occurred in the last 6 years, but it is not certain which ones they were.
Now, fans speculate that this employee could be one of the multiple Nintendo leakers with a good track record; however, nothing is confirmed. It is also unknown if the company was aware of this or if it took any action against the Google employee by any means.
