Meaning people weren't tricked into buying this pile of crap, I know I was fucking done after seeing how devoid of effort and care this game was, they should be the ones sued, for implying that people showing the content of the game to others and people being put off by it can only mean one thing, this game is shit, and they tried to sell this shit to people at the full price of 60 dollars

The shit we leaked apparently hindered the TPC from marketing their products as they wanted. In other words the leakers exposing the TPC's bullshit with the 400 dex and all that allowed many people to not be fooled and consume. That was deemed as irreparable damage.

There was only one trailer during the leakes the Mr Rime one that nobody gave a shit about as it was 3 days before release. One thing can have many justifications and just because TPC would rather go for a more legal explanation the fact that the 400 dex, which is something GF didn't want us to know, leaked and caused a shitstorm isn't any less true. It's something they'll never admit but it's not less valid.

Yeah, ORAS, SM and USM guides all released a week after their respective games. It's to stop online guides and sites copying the information and to avoid leaking the contents of the game wholesale (if it's going on sale with the game, more chance it's out in the wild early and it gets leaked). That it seemed to be someone in the back-end of the system who leaked the guide (ie it hadn't gotten delivered to shops yet, so couldn't have been sold early by any chance) is why TPC are going after this dude - he's broken his company's rules concerning the handling of the printing of the guide.

Punishing the store doesn't nothing to deter leakers since they can always find another store nevermind the fact that the leakers themselves gives no fuck and will continue to keep leaking. This is one of the few times where they had left evidence of their real identity here. They can be traced, and if a leaker gets brought to court, other leakers might start getting wary and not leak since they don't want to go to court as well.

Do you know anything? "Irreparable damages" is a legal term.

https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1031

>n. the type of harm which no monetary compensation can cure or put conditions back the way they were, such as cutting down shade trees, polluting a stream, not giving a child needed medication, not supporting an excavation which may cause collapse of a building, tearing down a structure, or a host of other actions or omissions. The phrase must be used to claim that a judge should order an injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or other judicial assistance, generally known as equitable relief. Such relief is a court order of positive action, such as prohibiting pollution or requiring the shoring up of a defective wall.

It just means that no amount of money can fix the harm that was done. And the harm they're suing for is:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6559817-Pokemon-Is-Suing-Unknown-Discord-Sword-and.html

>1. TPCi brings this action against Defendants to protect its valuable trade secrets. Defendants stole trade secrets from TPCi by taking illicit pictures of pages from an unreleased strategy guide created to accompany the release of two highly anticipated video games, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. The pictures revealed never-before-seen Pokémon and evolutions of Pokémon that TPCi and its partners intended to keep secret until the games’ release on November 15, 2019. Over the course of 15 hours on November 1 and 2, 2019, Defendants disseminated TPCi’s trade secrets on the Internet, causing TPCi harm.

A) Leaking the contents of a strategy guide that didn't officially release until last Friday, a week after the game launched.
B) Showing Pokemon that TPCi wanted to remain secret until release.

No, it's simply about stuff they didn't want revealed before launch being leaked. Nothing more, nothing less.

>Defendants' trade secret theft and subsequent leak harmed TPCi by disrupting its ability to market Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield

>reducing the fan interest and engagement TPCi and its partners generate by keeping key elements of the game secret

They're suing because the leaks prevented them from marketing the game the way they wanted to market it. This is standard business procedure. Plus the guidebook leak was also a potential case of an NDA breach.

Leakers showed how shit the game was and reduced interest, the dex was revealed to be 400 so they could no longer lead idiots to believe that because the guide had 500 pages the game would have 500 pokemon and stuff like that.

Except it was the guys posting game screenshots that leaked that. Not the guide guy. The guide guy leaked like 10 pokemons at most, and some too blurry to be properly visible, and yet since he's the only one that maybe signed NDAs he's the only one being investigated.

Don't try to fool yourself this is about "w-we pwned TPCI and the game is proved SHIT!!", this is strictly about them wanting to stomp down an internal leak. Literally internal, since the guide is apparently published by TPCI themselves, so chances are it was one of their own employees.

If it was all internal they wouldn't use discord pics of a guy who had been sent pics from another guy. The lawsuit is silly claiming it caused damage but not how 5 blurry photos of a guide could actually do that and at what degree. The TPC saying they lost engagement but they can't measure it is an empty statement.

What this lawsuit is NOT about: Going after random people who uploaded the game, datamined the game, or exposed issues with the game pre-release.

What this lawsuit IS about: Locating contractors who may have worked on a strategy guide, who may have signed NDAs, who may have breached those NDAs, and preventing them from leaking any additional secrets they might have.

This is just standard business procedure for leaks (Epic did the same thing over a Fortnite leak last month), but shitposters are trying to twist it into "Our game is shit and we didn't people to know it was shit until after they gave us their money".

But this is exactly what it is. They can say all they want, legal or otherwise, but we all know they just wanted the money before everyone found out how shit the game turned out to be. It's a business.

>The pictures revealed never-before-seen Pokémon and evolutions of Pokémon that TPCi and its partners intended to keep secret until the games’ release on November 15, 2019. Over the course of 15 hours on November 1 and 2, 2019, Defendants disseminated TPCi’s trade secrets on the Internet, causing TPCi harm.

They were keeping things secret in response to complaints about ORAS and SM's marketing campaign's spoiling the entire game. Their plan was to leave stuff for people to discover for themselves.

He broke an NDA. This isn't some heroic leaker exposing the flaws of a game and the big bad corporation being pissed about it. He signed a contract, and then knowingly violated said contract.

TPCi isn't in the wrong here, the law is in their favor.

What are you talking about? The leak being on discord doesn't change the fact that the original leaker might be from TPCI or the print that TPCI pays to produce the guides. The guy that got the pics is likely not in trouble, but the original source of the guide that got used to leak is what TPCI wants to find out and punish.

Irreparable Injury is just a legal term for "we are mad and want someoen to be punished", they don't need to Prove they were Damaged to sue someone that broke a NDA.

More from the document

>3. TPCi owns valuable trade secrets in the images and content of the unreleased strategy guide for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. Before TPCi and its partners release a new game, they keep key components of that game—including certain of the new and returning Pokémon—secret.

>4. There is value in this secrecy. The videogame industry is highly competitive with thousands of new games released annually. To maximize consumer interest and excitement in new Pokémon games, TPCi and its partners carefully time announcements about new Pokémon, features and functionality. When individuals disclose these details without TPCi’s or its partners’ consent (commonly called “leaks” or “spoilers”) they threaten this value and undermine the carefully cultivated excitement and interest TPCi and its partners have worked so hard to generate. It also ruins the surprise for hundreds of thousands of Pokémon fans who are eagerly anticipating the release of the new game.

Again, this has nothing to do with lost sales. It's about marketing. The "damages" are the fact that the leak interfered with them marketing the game the way THEY wanted to market it. They're pissed because things they wanted to stay secret until release got leaked after they worked so hard keeping them secret.
