After all aside from the european hue reviewer and retard-kun, this place (nay the internet as a whole) needed to wait until 11th November, 4 days before official launch of Sword and Shield, to get the game uploaded to the internet where someone then started to share it.
Same deal here actually, Nintendo make an example of a reviewer and their publication (Nintendo cut all ties with them, won't work with them again, pretty much killing their worth in Portugal as others will now always have an edge on them), to scare any future fucks straight, the grunts in the production chain got ganked as a warning to all other grunts of all grades the same will happen to them if they try any funny business and the shops arent risking breaking street date so soon out from launch (they generally start in the last week in the run-up to launch as anyone working McRetail in January likely is doing it for a living, meaning less chance they risk getting sacked for selling shit before its time. You lost, you entitled brassic bastard.
