“Leaks hurt thousands of people”: Nintendo punishes site violating Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield embargo

Companies Nintendo and The pokemon company announced a complete severance of relations with the Portuguese edition Fintinto after they were able to establish that one of his observers was involved in last year’s leaks on Pokemon sword and Pokemon shield.

The journalist, who had previously received a copy of the game for passing and writing a review, revealed a number of unannounced details and published images of new Pokémon on the network, which violated the embargo and “negatively affected the marketing plans of Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.”

“He posted photos of the embargoed content on the network. We quickly managed to identify the person behind these leaks, and immediately took the necessary measures.

The reviewer and the FNintendo editorial staff were unable to properly process confidential material, which led to a clear violation of the non-disclosure agreement. As a result, we will no longer work with this site.

Nintendo will always protect its intellectual property and brands. Leaks are damaging not only Nintendo, but also thousands of people who are working hard to create and launch games on the market, as well as millions of fans around the world who are waiting for surprises, “the statement said.

The editors of FNintendo apologized to Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, assuring that they had severed relations with an unscrupulous browser.

Nintendo will no longer invite FNintendo employees to press shows and will no longer send new games and consoles to the editor. The publication has been working with the manufacturer for 11 years.
