They've been removed.
I wonder if Sony will go after the guy, since his PSN name was shown in the video and I assume they can track that back to a real person easily enough.
Agreed. I posted the story and the source link which includes links to the videos but I refuse to watch them. I want a fresh experience. No rush on my part.
well be tempted no more, looks like the video has already been blocked

Then why spread news that has been acquired in an illegal way?
he only paid the best offer which was $1300, still sad tho. Anyone know if they guy will actually upload any more videos? I need to record them all and only have the two
"Alright fellow travelers, I'm editing this post up.
First, I realize spoilers aren't for everyone. Originally, I hadn't
even really planned on posting videos. There was a lot of hype for it, I
caved, and I posted some. They have, of course, already been taken
down, which was expected. And the response from most was positive, but
of course there were also many that weren't exactly pleased.
I'll say this - spoilers will come, one way or another. It may not be
from me, but it will be from someone. But I wish no one ill will - I
just wanted to share the discovery with you all.
That being said, this is quickly becoming an unpleasant experience
for me. People are taking some of the comments I made, especially the
long one about my justification for why I bought it in the first place,
and quoting it somewhat out of context. I feel like the entire message
works as a whole, and not as pieces, and when Polygon posts only a piece
of it as "my quote on the subject," it's kind of annoying. Friends and
family only see that one part and think that's all there is to it, and
there really is more to it. I mean, whatever it's the press, that's
what they do, but it's just not something I enjoy seeing.
Second, there are more spoilers than you probably realize with this
game. I'm only a couple hours in, barely touched a few planets and
already I've had many FUCK YEAH moments. In the one hand, I'd love to
share those with you - but in the other hand, Sean is right... why not
just wait and experience them first hand? I dunno.
The first videos I posted were perfect - they spoiled nothing and
just showed a taste. I'm sort of glad that was the contribution I was
able to give out before they were taken down, and I quickly started
hitting new stuff I was reluctant to post. They're down now, but they
probably exist out there somewhere, and I'm sure you can find them.
But that's it from me video-wise. HG and Sean don't like it, it's
giving me a headache dealing with the fallout, I don't want to be the
guy that spoiled all this cool shit, and I'm just leaving it at that! I
hope you like those first videos! But for now, I'm going to just play
the game, keep to myself and enjoy it.
I will do a text-only post with first impressions once I'm much
further in, and yes I will Spoiler tag it and answer ANY questions
people want to ask, but there will be no screenshots or videos. Text
only from here on out, my friends. It's a compromise respectful to the
boundaries in place, and I'm just going to accept it.
Thanks for the early support, and sorry for not showing you more."
Downloaded the 27 min video from Google. Was pleasantly surprised. Wasn't interested in the game before but I think I might pick it up now. If it was a clever marketing trick, it worked on me.
Agreed. I posted the story and the source link which includes links to the videos but I refuse to watch them. I want a fresh experience. No rush on my part.

The news was acquired from a story on gamespot. (among about 20 other sites) not illegal I posted it because I find it sad someone would pay $2000 for a game that releases in a week.
I did something kind of similar years back, I made a ton more money back than I spent from youtube adsense revenue.
This is actually pretty common, let's play channels pay a lot of money to mom and pop game stores to get games early.
More companies are taking notes. Brain dead people spending this much for early access (the game is not out so a leaked copy is literally early access). They still have hope of ripping people off with unfinished games.
Such disposable income. I was just on a forum that people talked about spending $4000 on a game still in alpha was like nothing to them.
I'd really hate to see their basements...

Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.

In all the world, only ONE copy of NMS was stolen and offered for sale ? Really ?
And the guy who bought it was "responsible" enough to stop posting any more vids after the first two excellent teasers ? Really ?
And Sony have not banned is PSN account, even though he showed the world his username ? Really ?
However, I'll bet this "leak" caused a spike in pre-orders...

Spoilers obviously.
