"Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor has a bone to pick with the internet's healthy population of self-styled "insiders", including the infamous/venerated CBOAT. In a brief but pithy aside on NeoGAF, O'Connor criticised the practice of leaking embargoed information, suggesting that it causes trouble for developers and isn't really of benefit to players."
"Breaking embargos is not prophesy," he began. "Nor does it require any particular skill or insight. Ultimately he [CBOAT] is taking or being given information and leaking it, illegally and often erroneously.
"And he isn't doing it for some noble or worthy reason. He's doing it for attention. People, including nice people with kids and families and stuff, work super hard on this stuff and wake up in the morning to find some of their effort blown up.
"It's not fun, and for what? So you can have a mildly interesting surprise 8 hours early and lacking context? Or get hyped or disappointed disproportionately? Or get someone fired or someone innocent yelled at? Ok. But it isn't prophecy, nor ultimately even important. It's annoying."
