Looking at an unfinished game is the equivalent of looking at an unfinished painting, your seeing the first brush strokes maybe some sketches but you have no realistic idea what the end result will be like.

Looking at leaks is a pontless waste of time, the fact they included personal information just makes the "hackers" scummy

Unfortunately it’s probably a strategy so the next company they steal from knows the consequences if they don’t pay up.

makes the “hackers” scummy

Don’t get me wrong, you’re right that this is bad but I’d think the blackmailing alone would make them scummy.

Blackmail I a company is one thing. Targetting the personal lives of employees is another level entirely.
