Wow! Nintendo's most established leaker Pyoro may have accidentally revealed
the source of all the leaked Nintendo info to Bloomberg.
From backend Nintendo eshop leaks to people pretending to be Japanese women, this week's newsletter is a look at the culture of video game leaks and rumors — and how it was just shaken up in a big way https://t.co/PMRR8la0CB
Basically, a theory was placed on the website ResetEra that Pyoro's source was a Nintendo employee with backend web access, and that's why Pyoro didn't have any info this time (because Nintendo didn't have webpage announcements ready to go). Pyoro didn't fully confirm this, but there are comments that indicate it is probably true. In the DMs, Pyoro did confirm that a Nintendo employee was the source.
Pyoro claims the DMs quote in the story were off the record and all the account's tweets are now protected.
Apparently, Pyoro's primary leak source is a Nintendo employee in Japan. The speculative theory is they had access to Nintendo's web backend.
With this Direct, Nintendo might be getting wise. They didn't put everything on the website ahead of time.https://t.co/GlMh7FVOqK
Pyoro might have just accidentally threw his contact under the bus by mistake 💀 An employee that works for Nintendo Japan and only knows about stuff from the website backend can’t be too hard to pinpoint. https://t.co/lSHrC4G9QZpic.twitter.com/K9CdP4FUj0
