I feel like the ethics of this heavily depends on what exactly is being leaked.

That’s too far. He’ll be black listed from the industry though. Not very many people will be willing to allow him in their doors if they need and NDA signed.

breach of contract*, not ‘illegal’

Jason—and other journalists who leak information—have largely only done so when said information was newsworthy/had a purpose. For example, the Fallout 4 “leak” was newsworthy because it came in the midst of a huge Fallout hoax being perpetrated on fans. Jason, a journalist, had information that said hoax was indeed a…

Afaik Schreier doesn’t get confidential information about unreleased projects. He talks to insiders about issues at companies and then reports on them after applying journalistic rigor. I’d say there’s a very large difference.

“Illegal”?

There are dozens of perfectly fine ways for Valve to easily and fairly address this issue. They simply choose not to.

Dude captures an entire space station full of unknown alien weaponry and tech - tech which was known to be able to wreck the best ships of the Alliance -and hands it over to the leader of a hyper-racist terrorist organization. Renegade Shep wasn’t just evil, they were eeee-vil!

Oh, yeah, totally punched out the reporter in the first two games for her fear-mongering and misrepresentation. I felt like it would have been irresponsible not to.

You mean Nü-Carth.

Murky moral choices are fine... I just hate it when games refuse to give you any clear moral choices.

Not lovable, ruthless, but not actually bad, though.
There’s some TOUGH decisions to make as renegade. Like the genophage shit, the fate of the Geth and Quarians

and some that haven’t aged as well

One major problem with a lot of morality systems is putting a meter on it.  They’re not really choices if you’re being rewarded for pushing it all the way to one side or the other.

Yeah yeah you’ve commented on 3 different posts about it. Don’t give up 48 points, loser.
