who hates the word leaked?

Did you hear about the watchdogs leak? it got so leaked this week, that its leaking like a leaky tap that's being fixed or released next week, its just so leaking unbelievable.

Me, makes me want to take a leak.

can you fix this leaky faucet? it leaks so much i could wash leeks with the leak.

LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol'd.

@GTR12: I just hate my intelligence insulted and so should people in general. Although o do think most people do not think for themselves and trust media and other sources way too much.

That was funny on the leak bit you just wrote. Also the word rumour and sources tell me such and such..I believe in reporting facts not opinions etc.

Its a word, so no I do not hate it. As for the concept, yes I am sure some companys use it as a viral type promotion, But from the amount of angry developers to straight up false info or things being changed its a much more complex issue than just a PR tactic.

just take all of the above as nothing but rumors that are likely untrue. its what i do.

It's just a word..

@ewalthour:

I replied the way I did for 1 reason, this doesn't relate or/is limited to PlayStation only, its not suited for this board.

leakage

@GTR12: this term relates to newspaper articles, gaming on all platforms. So yes this is appropriate for ps4 forums because I am sick and tired of hearing this word for every other article about a ps4 game or xbox game. I want the term to be deleted from people vocab.

@ewalthour:

Well That's never going to happen so you need to suck it up and deal with the word.

no need for hostility. Just because I hate the way things are in this world doesn't mean I have to accept it. I deal with stupidiness everyday. As long as people exist there will be stupid choices and decision which is why man isn't infallible especially the pope.

well, you are infallible right? :P

Also, stupidiness is not a word.

Yeah, this. I mean, I don't hate word, per se, nor the concept of 'leaking' info.....at least when you're talking like TRUE major leaking of info--i.e. NSA, Snowden-style level shit. But in the gaming world, it terminology and usage of it has been so overused--and probably abused--so much by the industry and companies that sometimes use it as means to get their name and game in news, that at times--like you stated--when genuine 'leaks' do happen it's hard to tell the difference.

But in short, while I don't hate the word the overuse of it in the gaming media outlet can be annoying.......especially when the info is WRONG (i.e. like the supposed 'leak' of Sony's E3 conference info for this year).

Yeah it really pisses me off to no end. That and how people like making threads announcing an anouncement two weeks before it announced.
