00:00Assassin's Creed Shadows got leaked and when I say that I mean the whole thing the game got
00:07leaked they literally just had the game get released out of nowhere on accident so I really
00:13thought after all this time we would be done with like AC Shadows scandals I thought surely
00:22nope
00:25we had run out of things to talk about and that we were just in like the home stretch
00:29where the game is being polished up and then March 20th comes it releases yay we're done
00:35we move on we talk about something else but no like this game is I don't know if it's cursed
00:39I don't know if it's if it's just mismanagement I like I have no idea what's going on but AC
00:45Shadows has just experienced one of the worst nightmare situations for any game it's like
00:50Ubisoft's run by a bunch of monkeys and the only thing that they have to put out the fires that
00:55they start is gasoline it's really impressive the fact that they're able to figure out new
01:01ways like these people can invent ways that I would never even imagine are possible to fuck
01:07up it's impressive could possibly release and it's just one more massive nail in the coffin
01:15of this game's marketing cycle it's amazing that they've suffered through so many of these
01:21disasters but you might be asking Luke what is that what is it what what is it that that has
01:27happened to Ubisoft and AC Shadows this time the game is apparently just out there it's
01:34oops because they pushed it back and they pushed it back so late in development a lot of the copies
01:43and everything and I bet that the production cycle of the game and the distribution cycle of the game
01:49because that stuff is like so far in the future it's hard to keep that up right and so like there
01:56was a miscommunication that happened somewhere along the line and this is what it was buy and
02:02save Ubisoft for us well I said this before right is you know there's the build 100 bridges suck
02:07one dick you're not a bridge builder you're a dick sucker well you suck 100 dicks and you build
02:12one bridge you're Ubisoft and here we are it's another fuck this is 101 dicks
02:20fully leaked the entire game there are physical copies people have gotten their hands on
02:26and they are selling through places like Facebook marketplace 100 credits list and
02:31outlets like that earlier on stream I even had somebody in chat from Iran that was saying that
02:36they also have physical copies where they are and they're just being sold by like street vendors
02:41and stuff it's unbelievable like I'm at a loss for words this is unreal so in this video we're
02:47going to talk all about it because I have delved into whether or not this is actually real and
02:51true or if they're just really good fakes and Ubisoft has also responded to it officially at
02:57this point and I'm going to also show you an instance of where this happened before and why
03:03this is way way worse so buckle up because this uh this dumpster fire is burning it's crazy man
03:11it's crazy but first real bad a thank you to our sponsor world of tanks is the online action game
03:16where you control tanks from world war ii and the mid-20th century in high octane and yet very
03:22tactical battles with over 800 different machines that you can choose to control and a plethora of
03:28complex and deep gameplay systems to engage with world of tanks is one of those games that's easy
03:34to learn but hard to master not only do they have really complex systems simulating the site ranges
03:40for various tanks within a massive battlefield but they also have things like armor penetration
03:44that you need to think about traction control all of that stuff so if you're interested play
03:48the game for free today with the link in the video description box below and new players who sign up
03:54using the link will also get a special starter package again you can check the game out for free
04:00at the link below okay welcome back like I said the game has leaked allegedly and you see pictures
04:05of individuals just holding the game multiple copies and they are selling it for 100 bucks a
04:11pop or even more in some cases but this could be fake I mean realistically it's not that hard to
04:16go into photoshop and to create some artwork with some some ai art no I don't think it's fake it's
04:21just been too many people saying it happened I know with concept art that you get from the website
04:26and then put a sticker on the disc to make it look all official it's not impossible people have done
04:30it before well to check on that I did a little bit of digging while we were on stream for about 30
04:36seconds and I came across some videos people had posted where they had put the disc into their
04:40playstation 5s and installed the game and booted it up and after going through the main menu
04:47selection I can confidently guess probably what happened is that there's a date lock on the game
04:53that the game probably would only work on ps5s that hadn't updated the game because a lot of
04:59ps5s the way that I think that it works is that if you're playing a game and you end up what do
05:06you call it you're playing a game and jesus christ I totally lost my train of thought
05:12oh yeah and you're playing the game before it actually releases the ps5 won't let you play it
05:17but the difference with this game and I think the reason why it might have worked is because
05:20the delay was for a month you see what I'm saying say that this is real this is real as you recall
05:29I went to a preview event for the game and saw how the game boots up and this is real like it's
05:36it's real this is not faked so I I'm very confident in saying that it's it's unfortunately
05:43very very real there are physical copies all over the planet that have a version of the game running
05:49on it and it is playable realistically what I think has happened is that copies of the game
05:55have been stolen from warehouses right for shipment and those copies are the ones being
06:01resold and for whatever reason there are no protections with playstation 5 copies to prevent
06:07them from booting I would have no there are protections and I bet the problem is that
06:12the playstation 5s had not updated the official launch date for the game so they're allowing it
06:18to be booted even though it's like uh not the launch date yet because it wasn't updated that's
06:24probably what I think happened but that there would be some like online connectivity thing
06:30where like oh you put the disc in and then it has to verify that you own the license but the
06:33game isn't out yet so you just can't boot the game but apparently that's just not in place at
06:37least not yet the delay I think that's why it happened so as of right now people are able to
06:43just put these discs in their consoles and just boot the game and play but I know what you're
06:47thinking Luke how on earth did they get so many physical copies in these warehouses where they
06:53could be stolen well you remember the game was originally supposed to launch on February 14th
06:58Valentine's Day and then it was delayed out of nowhere to March 20th that's right well I can
07:04report very confidently that multiple members of the dev team did not know that the game was being
07:10delayed until it was delayed they found out by seeing the post on social media just like
07:15everybody else I'm sure some of the higher-ups knew about the delay they got a call shortly before
07:20unfortunately a lot of companies do things like this in order to prevent insider trading
07:25that's actually the main reason why they do it it's not because of any sort of like employee issue
07:30it's just simply a function seemingly was like a fairly last minute decision to push the game to
07:36March and it was made from on high and if that decision was made kind of impulsively or maybe
07:42suddenly there's a strong chance that maybe some calls weren't made to these people who were
07:48shipping all of these copies of the game to distribution centers around the world for the
07:54physical release of the game on February 14th and so those deliveries still went through and
07:59they showed up at the warehouses now I'm sure they were labeled as confidential as do not open
08:06as if that's ever stopped anybody before if anything that might have called more attention
08:10to the boxes and make more money and so some of these individuals just opened up the boxes took
08:14the copies out and started flipping them online which is to be fair very very stupid they're going
08:21to get caught when I worked at Best Buy it usually like I mean unless you work at the company they're
08:28probably not going to go after a lot of the people like if you're selling seven copies of the game
08:32for like seven hundred dollars it's probably not worth their time to go after you unless they want
08:38to set an example like just realistically right before finishing college and like working
08:46elsewhere I actually remember the launch of some games like Sekiro or Spider-Man and we got copies
08:52of those games a few days early not a month early like a few days before launch and they would show
08:57up in these big cardboard boxes and they were labeled like confidential do not open before this
09:02day like they were very you know red stickers everywhere they were very very clear what they
09:06were but they were just cardboard boxes and like the manager would just leave them in the back of
09:10the warehouse and so technically if you wanted to just go open it up and take copies you could
09:16yeah and people would only find out when the official launch happened and they were stocking
09:21shelves and there were a bunch of copies missing because they had a certain inventory count of what
09:25should have been there after that they started like locking them in cages and stuff years later
09:29but at least back then at Best Buy we would just leave things out and about it was like very
09:35uh non-secure let's just say insecure dare I say and it wouldn't surprise me if there's also yeah
09:41because they didn't expect people to steal their shit yeah I mean it's a security lapse that's
09:45happening at warehouses around the world because it's a big place the world and so chances are that
09:51one of those cages or boxes was left unattended somebody went in swiped three copies of the game
09:57and then started selling it on Facebook Marketplace or wherever this is I don't know what this uh
10:03but they started selling it and that's how this happens as for the guy that was in chat that told
10:08me in Iran there's like street vendors and people that have access to the game already
10:12those could be fake copies or it could also just be another instance where there was a
10:16shipment delivered to some warehouse and the warehouse guy was like yeah no give me x number
10:21of dollars and I'll let you just take it and I'll say they were stolen and then they just take the
10:26copies of the game sell them on the streets that's yeah I don't even know if it's a security thing
10:30I think with a lot of these with a lot of these cases and this is true with a lot of like bad
10:36actors and people like this usually the leak or the security threat comes from inside of the company
10:45and it's a person who is performing an action on behalf of somebody for money that's oftentimes
10:51what it is it happened very very quickly and easily when there's not a lot of safeguards in
10:58place to protect against this type of thing and so I can say pretty confidently the leaks are very
11:03very real and I think it's a lot more widespread than what happened a while back specifically in
11:092016 when a copy of No Man's Sky leaked early and this is actually something that was talked about
11:15in the engoodening of No Man's Sky a video from the one and only internet historian in which he
11:21shows this little moment that you might recall from the video. Holy shit. If your game isn't
11:27coming out for another two weeks then why is there a box copy on ebay oh that's right it's a leak
11:36oh oh someone broke the embargo and is selling early access to the highest bidder now the bids
11:42start rolling in now that's crazy now doesn't that just tell you a whole lot about Assassin's Creed
11:47Shadows that it was a thousand dollars and this was in 2016 so a thousand dollars in 2016 is like
11:56$10,000 in 2025 and they they're they're barely trying to sell Assassin's Creed Shadows for a
12:02hundred bucks man oh it's getting rough out here it reaches $1,300 yes sold to some guy with the
12:17reddit handle Damien yeah he gets his hands on it and starts uploading footage to youtube and
12:23daily motion that's crazy what daily motion and this was one copy it went out it started picking
12:31up steam online this guy played it he made a review and he actually said he really liked the
12:36game he was actually fairly well he was wrong upbeat and positive about it he gave it a pretty
12:41good mark so he did point out some bugs here and there but this was just one copy what's happened
12:45with AC Shadows are dozens if not hundreds upon hundreds of copies possibly thousands but at
12:52least hundreds of copies that are just out there and gone and available freely now there are some
12:58steps they can take to lock this down allegedly there's a way that they could contact playstation
13:02and playstation could lock down on all of this and they could just be like oh this app executable
13:07whatever is not launchable on the playstation 5 yeah but the people that are doing that will just
13:12unplug their playstation from the internet and then they'll just keep playing the game offline
13:17so like that wouldn't even do anything console and so if you try to do it it'll identify it as
13:22a stolen copy your account gets flagged maybe even terminated for breaking to us there's all
13:27sorts of stuff that they could theoretically do but it requires playstation to act on it and
13:31there's just so many variables that it's really hard to say whether or not we would ever see
13:36something like that keyboards happen but what i can say confidently is like if they do have
13:40a way of trying to go after these guys that are playing early versions of the games they
13:45will and should probably go out i mean they could go after these people for sure
13:50but the reality is that it's probably not worth it to do that
13:55because really this didn't happen the issue is that like if this was something that was happening
14:02as like a result of an insider person doing something bad then that would be one thing
14:07but this really seems like it happened as a breakdown of supply chain communication
14:13that's really what it seems like happened they thought the game was being released it got delayed
14:18that wasn't communicated properly the the games were unboxed and then that was it so really like
14:24what are you achieving what are you doing like where's what's your best case scenario when you
14:30go after and sue somebody for selling seven copies of this game and making like the equivalent of
14:36like what seven you're upselling at forty dollars so what is that two hundred and forty dollars like
14:42two hundred and eighty dollars who cares it's not enough uh stealing copies of games
14:49have not released yet with this it's just really really remarkable because again it's not just one
14:54copy it's many all over the world and it's probably because of shipments going out that
15:01were supposed to be canceled after the delay to march but that didn't happen and so they've just
15:06shown up around the world and are uh are getting scooped up by people which is wild but they've
15:13actually responded to it and to their credit they've actually responded very promptly and
15:17quickly ubisoft through the official assassin's creed handle said hello everyone we are aware
15:21players have accessed assassin's creed shadows ahead of its official release so the development
15:27team is still working on patches for anybody who thinks it's fake they literally said it was
15:30happening prepare the experience for launch and any footage shared online does not represent the
15:34final quality of the game leaks are unfortunate and can diminish the excitement for players
15:39we kindly ask you not to spoil the experience for others thank you to our community for already
15:44taking steps to protect everyone from spoilers stay in the shadows avoid the spoilers and keep
15:48an eye on our channel does leak start with for more official surprises in the coming weeks
15:53march 20th we'll be here soon and listen i i joked at the top that like maybe the game is cursed
16:01at this point like they might be i cannot think of another game that has suffered
16:06so many setbacks so many like scandals duke nukem forever so many issues within the game's
16:16marketing cycle it's yeah bizarre it's crazy again like we can point to other games where
16:22they've had one of these or maybe you know half of one and half of the other but ac shadows has
16:27just managed to this company step on every single possible landmine while trying to get across the
16:33finish line mega and it's remarkable i mean honestly i wouldn't blame ubisoft if they were
16:38like just let's just get this over with just yeah just take it out to the barn and shoot it
16:43like that's yeah exactly like at this point they should just release the game and just
16:48fuck give up man just give up i definitely want to play it up we'll launch on may or march
16:55fourth or something or fifth or six whatever the the hell of friday is we'll just launch it then
17:01call it good and we'll just move on maybe 10-7 buys us out we don't care anymore hopefully i
17:05wouldn't blame them because this has just been one massive headache for close to a year now
17:10and i don't know if it's just that like shadows is cursed or if it's just that we're very aware
17:15of it so there's a lot more reporting and attention the company's run by retards because
17:20uh of what do you call it star wars outlaws was stupid uh the prince of persia good game had the
17:26studio get closed like it's basically again it's like ubisoft is an apple tree but instead of
17:31apples it's mistakes and so like it's not like you're going to randomly have the mistake tree
17:37drop a golden fruit is it that's not going to happen no it's just going to be more mistakes
17:42it's a dick tree yeah all they're dropping is dicks exactly yeah i like that that's better
17:46scandals that wouldn't normally apply to other games i really don't know what it is but ac shadows
17:53man it's just one thing after another ubisoft really cannot catch a break with this game
17:59you know maybe they finally catch a break if reviews are really really good but with these
18:03leaks now there's a good chance that a lot of these people even hundreds of people around the
18:08world will play and finish the game before reviewers even get their hands on a copy which
18:13is why i think that what is going to happen is that the fact that nothing crazy for the
18:19game has been shown yet people probably have finished the game by now and what that tells
18:25me is that assassin's creed shadows is probably a seven to an eight game it's a very average
18:34run-of-the-mill game nothing too crazy nothing nothing too awful just maybe a six you guys think
18:42maybe it'll be a six yeah but like it's not going to be like star wars outlaws where like the game
18:46was just a terrible game was awful i think it's going to be somewhere in that middle point that's
18:50where i mean you could see a flood of reviews from people that got the game early because of this
18:57and are just posting videos and getting their social accounts destroyed in the process but
19:02posting videos and gameplay and stuff before reviewers even get access to the game it's just
19:08baffling and insane but that's just it's the shadow's curse i don't know what else to call
19:13it it really is crazy i again i can't think of another game that's had this many problems it's
19:18really really remarkable but uh yeah i don't know if i'm forgetting a game that had an even more
19:24disastrous marketing cycle let me know fall 76 was a train wreck but mainly after launch it was
19:30just scandal after scandal after scandal but before launch it was fairly straightforward but
19:35this game man it's just one thing after another they cannot catch a break but that's going to do
19:40it for me just a quick little update video on the whole ac shadows let me know what you think of all
19:44of these leaks and things and if i'm forgetting any other scandalous games that have run into
19:49many many problems before that i'm forgetting about because i'm sure there's there's got to
19:53be another right that's had a similarly troubled marketing cycle but i can't think of anything
19:58quite this bad so let me know in the comments i'll eagerly await finding out about other
20:04hilarious things maybe concord concord was a mess so maybe concord that that was a bit of a train
20:10wreck but anyway we'll keep it on shadows we'll keep looking at it but don't look up spoilers
20:15don't watch the videos because they are out there and they are real and just be aware it's a problem
20:23and it's going to be a problem for the next month before the game comes out so uh buckle up it's
20:28it's uh dangerous out there but with that said thank you for watching i love you all also go
20:32watch my monster in the wilds review i just put up this morning so go do that much love everybody
20:37i'll see you in the next one hugs and kisses bye-bye well uh i kind of uh i kind of feel
20:43bad for ubisoft to have the game leaked and i wasn't really going to cover a lot of the leaks
20:48i can talk about it happening right it's easy to talk about it happening but in a general sense
20:54it's always disappointing when you see a game get leaked like this i think that it's sad for the
20:58development team and everything i do feel bad for them and i think that leaks are kind of
21:02disappointing and it's it's disappointing to see it happen but uh at the end of the day um you know
21:08you make this many delays you have this happen and so many of them are happening at the 11th hour
21:14then you're gonna have this happen like that's just how that's how anything is ubisoft can suck
21:19it oh shit bro people are tired of it i guess well maybe you're right man like i don't know
21:26all i'm saying is that i don't think that it's a really crazy big deal but i think the fact that
21:32nothing that's like super super like controversial has come out about assassin's creed shadows
21:38like a lot of the people that have been playing it they've been leaking it nobody's been saying
21:43it's like crazy good or crazy bad am i am i weird for thinking that like it's odd that nobody has
21:49really said any real feedback or said anything really about the game in general yeah and so
21:55besides the graves yeah exactly it's mid yeah and so i think it's going to be a mid game yeah it
22:00could be hey and maybe it's going to be a six like after avowed i'm going to be kind of afraid to give
22:06another game a seven that even though i enjoyed avowed a lot of other people thought i was
22:11fucking wrong so yeah the whole game got leaked i'll give you guys a link to the video give the
22:17video a like uh i've watched a number of luke's videos and um i i i agree with a lot of his takes
22:22on this kind of stuff so uh yeah there you go
