no and no. I'm getting mighty sick of this attitude 'pls respect artists! they are all crying right now'.

how come game devs / artists are the only ones that should never have their work seen before they deem it to be 'ready', how many devs in other industries have had to push work to the public before they deem it 'ready'. I personally like having the 'curtain pulled back' so to speak, it's interesting to see the amount of work that goes into making a game / movie / whatever.

I’d say this is less “pulling back the curtain” and more brazen theft. But go off.

If rumors are correct, the leaker has the source code also, but hasn't chosen to release that. I'm pretty sure that releasing the source code would be seen as more of a dick move than just showing a video of some dev tools. I'm pretty sure we've all `stolen` software at some stage in our lives (looking at you Adobe), are we meant to be pearl-clutching over that also?
