Chased Off of YouTube, Leaked 'No Man's Sky' Footage Runs to Pornhub (vice.com)
An anonymous reader quotes Vice:I always feel a little dirty when I look at leaked footage of any kind, but rarely so much as when I brought up Pornhub yesterday to check out a video featuring the hyped space exploration game No Man's Sky... I had to go to Pornhub, as this corner of the web was the only place I'd been able to find the footage after it'd been yanked off of DailyMotion, YouTube, and almost every other video hosting site...
The PornHub video shows 21 minutes of footage with awful resolution, and none of it's particularly exciting to watch (which may say something about the game)...
On July 7, when the game was ready to ship, No Man's Sky creator Sean Murray posted on Twitter "I'm so incredibly proud of this tiny team. 4 years of emotions," then addressed the leaked footage on Friday, tweeting "We've spent years filling No Man's Sky with surprises. You've spent years waiting. Please don't spoil it for yourself..." A later Twitter post added "Take a break from reading about it, and picking vids apart. You can experience for yourself so soon."

Now I can participate in subversive activity, check out a cool new game AND watch porn all at once! That's a big time saver.
slashdot spouts nonsense, and you don't get it!
Infinite, procedurally generated porn? Count me in!
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
I feel dirty if I am going to YP and not watching porn. Like I'm wasting valuable jacking time. On that note.... off to YouPorn.... for PORN!
Both porn and gaming can be a problem. Sounds like youre going to unusual lengths there. I think you need a good prescription of nature.
I say the article publisher simply needs to come clean. They were surfing PornHub for some really kinky wacked out space sex involving a gun and this video game suddenly appeared.

No Woman's Sky will be better.
As per subject
This really feels like viral advertising. None of it really makes sense to me any other way. From the explanations that are just vague enough to make you say "WTF?" before you go hunting for more info, to the fact that they banning the video, all the way to the person who posted the videos saying
"There are more spoilers than you probably realize with this game," Daymeeuhn wrote in the post. "I'm only a couple hours in, barely touched a few planets, and already I've had many FUCK YEAH moments. On the one hand, I'd love to share those with you, but in the other hand, Sean is right... why not just wait and experience them firsthand? I dunno. The first videos I posted were perfect—they spoiled nothing and just showed a taste."
Huh? There are spoilers here, but we didn't actually post any spoilers? Oh, but I should probably just go experience it firsthand, right? OK, I guess I'll run right out an buy a copy.
fuck you!
But I watched the whole thing. I found it to be very exciting. Especially when the gameplay reached its climax.
whose effectiveness relies on the element of secrecy or surprise tend, by design, not to have lasting value.
Young Game's NDA Violated in Every Way Possible!
MundaneMatt Just had 2 of his videos false flagged by Sony of all people. Mind you, Sony is merely distributing the PS4 version of the game, so their right to DMCA mere discussion of the game before launch -- especially when it doesn't contain in game footage -- is a bit odd at best.
But yeah, this suppression of pre-release footage is worrying. Combine that with an apparent Review Embargo and, well... I haven't been on the hype train for this one, but I do hope it's good.
Take a break from reading about it, and picking vids apart. You can experience for yourself so soon.
If that were true, I wouldn't be at Pornhub.
Wait, what were we talking about again?
I had to go to Pornhub [...] to find the footage after it'd been yanked off
Yes, PornHub is the obvious place to go for yanking off videos.
If a 30m gameplay video can spoil your game... it's a shitty fucking game
There's been plenty of streaming of No Man's Sky on Twitch, in fact I watched 3 hours of it tonight on Steam.
After said three hours I feel the devs are more concerned with people cancelling their pre-orders than they are with people spoiling it for themselves.
Oh look, it's another planet that looks the same, but blue'ish grey instead of with more chicken looking critters with horns, but these ones have 3 three legs instead of 4.
Yes, I did cancel my pre-order after watching said 3 hours.
"Won't someone pleeease think of the children!", Helen Lovejoy, The Simpsons.
Think of all the children deprived of this instructional footage because it's on an adults-only web-site.
I always feel a little dirty [...] brought up Pornhub yesterday [...] yanked off
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
And that is probably why you posted 10 seconds late. Next time, just do it, and don't waste 9 seconds wiping yourself clean. Then you'll only be 1 second late.
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
Erm. Annoying. Sound my daughter with logs pointing to pornhub, she told me she clicked on stuff through Slashdot. I told her not to lie.
Guess she wasn't.
I'm an animal, you insensitive clod! It should be titled ".No Mammal's Sky".
...they know their "game" sucks and want people to buy it and be stuck with it.
Any product afraid to be reviewed and/or previewed is GARBAGE to be avoided and actively criticized...
Isn't that what anonymous accounts do? Just parrot words they learned from the bigger kids that seem, oh, so very funny and adult? Isn't it about time you crawled out of your mom's basement and faced the real world for once in your miserable life?
... too many promises, they sounded like Peter Molyneux.
And now they're afraid of a public preview video? That says I was right.
I apologize for the lack of a signature.
I watched studio's earlier demos of the game. The thing about procedurally generated worlds is that after a while they all feel the same.
You said ''Your mom's basement!''
20 points!

They *could* take the sky away from you.....
You can't stop the signal, eh Mr. universe?
If telephones are outlawed, then only outlaws will have telephones.
I would have bought into it, but their version of multiplayer is "everyone in the same galaxy but you won't probably ever actually meet anyone. No you can't team up with a friend why would you want that?" So I'm glad I skipped this one...
30 points for Slytherin
I feel totally cheated. I clicked on the "No Man's Sky" expecting to see some hot outdoors girl-on-girl action. At first it looked like it might be some animated hentai bullshit, but no naked girls or tentacle monsters anywhere. Just planets and spaceships. WTF? Who gets off on this crap?

I give up on debugging. From now on, SIGSEGV is a feature.
To get around this nonsense, Google/Youtube could set up a streaming site outside the US and the legal reach of DMCA. Maybe in some place like Belgium.
