Earlier this week, a player who got early access to the game leaked the first 40 minutes of the “
Starfield ” demo on the Internet. Although the player later apologized to Todd Howard, the director of Bethesda, and praised the game, the player was finally arrested and the disaster of prison still came.
According to Reddit player news, this player was arrested yesterday (8.24) for possessing DM and stealing $2,500-10,000. In his videos and social media posts, the leaker basically admitted that he stole and sold items from the warehouse where he worked, including multiple copies of Star Games from Bethesda.
He may have become an overnight gaming celebrity for his antics, which included an apology to Todd Howard, but fame did come at a high price.
With the leaker being arrested and Starfield coming out soon, the chances of any more major leaks from Starfield are going to be pretty slim.
Starfield will be launched on September 6th, landing on PC, Xbox Series X|S. Players who purchased the Premium Edition will be able to play on September 1st.
