He realized after the Direct that the jig is up and then started to scramble in an effort to maintain his story that he wasn’t scraping the leaks from the backend. (Super dumb to say it was an NCL employee when anyone with a half a brain can tell that he was only in the dark because Nintendo delayed when they uploaded the new game pages. And NCL also knows it wasn’t one of their employees, because they figured out how they thought he was getting his info, changed their process, and it thwarted his leaks.)
Yeah. I recall reading Raccon’s deduction.
But Pyoro really fell into the trap this time by saying Light on first party. Played himself there
It was so obvious based on the timing of when he would leak. Yet there are still people who take him at his word that he has a source. And from NCL no less.
Not to defend Pyoro, but I have a similar issue where unless it's explicitly made clear, I can misunderstand something. It's gotten me in trouble at times because of that. Pyoro likely assumed he'd be interviewed but his name/information would be obscured to some degree.
Jason was pretty clear in the DMs he posted. He told him he was writing an article that will include him and asked him if he had any more context to provide. How much more clear could he be? But it doesn’t matter, because what Pyoro told Jason is a lie. He was trying to save face knowing that Nintendo figured out how he was getting his information (privated game page listings) and put a stop to it.
If an NCL employee was leaking things to him, they would know about Zelda just like they knew about Mario Wonder and Endless Ocean. He claimed the Direct was light, not because his human source was caught or they were left in the dark this time, but because there was never a human source to begin with.
I don't see this as 'explicitly' saying it would be public. He said he was writing an article about him. That doesn't mean he is going to turn around and publicize the source. Pyoro still should not have outed his own source like that, that was dumb.
Truly a press sneak fuck move. Ultimately Pyoro befell the same fate as all people who make too much noise in the Nintendo sphere without express authorization, the ninjas silenced them.
He literally told him what the article was about and that it would include him. He then allowed him the opportunity to provide more context. How much more explicit does a journalist from Bloomberg need to be?
And it’s not a “sneak fuck move.” It’s a journalist doing their job by contacting potential article sources and collecting information. This is literally how journalism is done all across the free world. Had he not wanted his name and lies to be publicized, a great time to speak would have been when Jason provided him the opportunity to do so.
Pyoro is an idiot, but the anti-leak brigade digging into him, and then Schreier deciding to ensure someone gets fired so he can dunk on said leaker, is all equally dumb.
No one is getting fired because the Japanese employee doesn’t exist.
Don't assume the people who stanned him and the people who are glad to see him leaving are the same people. We literally started splitting the past several Direct Speculation threads in two because so many of us didn't like what Pyoro was doing and wanted threads where we could keep talking about the Directs without his tweets dominating them. It's not like we all stanned him and then all suddenly flipped on him when it became cool to or whatever. The split opinion about him has been here for a good while.
Thank you! Do they think the spoiler-free Direct speculation threads were full of Pyoro fans who just got lost? There are plenty of people on these boards who disliked the practice of using privated game pages to spoil surprises mere hours before they get revealed.

yeah, I'm pretty autistic and unless things are directly stated I'm not going to pick up on them. Still not saying Pyoro was smart but it's an easy thing to do
