Gamer Facing Felony Charge for Leaking Starfield Footage

One ambitious gamer has learned the hard way of the dangerous repercussions of releasing unauthorized footage of an unreleased ​game. The gamer allegedly leaked an upcoming video game, called “Starfield”, which has yet to be announced by Bethesda Game Studios. Unfortunately, that ⁢ gamer now faces a felony ​charge.

The incident happened after a⁣ development build of Starfield, a highly anticipated role-playing video game was leaked onto the Internet. An anonymous user uploaded seven minutes of gameplay footage to YouTube which rapidly gained the attention of many gamers⁢ and caught the eye of the gaming giant, Bethesda Game Studios.

It didn’t take long for Bethesda to ⁣ track down the anonymous user behind the video which led to the police involvement and criminal charges. After a series of investigations, police officers eventually determined the individual who posted the footage and subsequently arrested him.

A spokeswoman from ⁤Bethesda Game Studios⁤ commented on the incident by saying “Piracy‌ of ‍our intellectual property should not be tolerated and⁢ we are committed to safeguarding ⁣the integrity ⁢of our ‌products‌ from ​illegal activity.”

This incident goes⁤ to show that there are serious ramifications for those⁤ who illegally obtain and leak unreleased games. Gaming companies are more vigilant than ever and will go to lengths⁣ to protect their properties.⁢ While the identity of the anonymous user has not been revealed, many gamers⁢ have speculated that the individual could face jail time or a hefty fine.
