Insider: Some game leaks may be coming from YouTube employees
In the past few months, we've seen several leaks about game presentations. One of them happened yesterday when insiders revealed the announcements for May's State of Play. According to Tom Henderson, YouTube could be the source of such leaks.
It is assumed that YouTube employees watched videos uploaded to the servers and then leaked the details online. Henderson has heard that the company has already conducted two internal investigations and would not be surprised if a third one starts soon.
From what I can gather, YouTube has investigated employees breaching their contractual agreements on two different occasions in the past 18 months due to employees accessing content on the backend.

Following today (and presumably SGF), we'll see a third investigation fairly…
Something similar might have happened with GTA 6 when the debut trailer was leaked a few hours before the premiere. Tom Henderson expects that announcements for the summer presentation of Summer Game Fest will start leaking soon.
Summer Game Fest will take place on June 7. According to rumors, a new «Mafia» will be announced at the event.
