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."

    Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.

    Both porn and gaming can be a problem.

    It seems to me they both involve mindless repetitive motion. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

    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.

  5. Don't spoil it [for us] - Devs by GrBear · · Score: 4, Informative

    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.

      No offense man but pre-ordering games is what got us where we are today with modern game releases.
      Half-assed, rushed out the door and full of bugs that get resolved 2-3 Gigabytes worth of patches down the road.

      In this day and age, no one should be pre-ordering anything as it simply continues to enable the piss poor behavior
      of the game developers who have the " Just release it and we'll patch it later " attitude.

      Learning about Twitch (from one of my teenagers) was my first "holy shit, I must be getting old" moment. My comment to her was "you are actually watching someone else playing a video game for hours on end?" to which she replied: "You spend hours watching other people play football, don't you?" Touche teenager, touche.
