It’s no surprise when information about a new game leaks on social media. Although it has happened many times, gaming companies do not tolerate this practice. This is because it causes losses for their exclusive and new products.
Leakage of confidential information is a serious problem in the gaming industry, and many companies struggle to find effective ways to protect their trade secrets.
One of the most recent cases of leaks was with “Destiny 2“, from Bungie. Now, the developer has revealed that it has located the person responsible for the inappropriate dissemination of its content.

The “Destiny 2” team took to Twitter to announce that they had all the evidence they needed to pin the blame on the person responsible for the leak, but they did not reveal who that person was. According to the team, the intruder has been disseminating game information for many years.
Even without revealing the name of the culprit, a streamer profile with the name Ekuegan on Twitter told his followers that they accused him of being the leaker. The profile claims to be innocent of the accusations and also says that he is disappointed.
