Insomniac and Sony took swift action by asking ISPs to issue DMCA notices to users accessing a build of Marvel’s Wolverine. A screenshot circulating online suggests that Insomniac could detect a leak on people’s computers, possibly using the game’s built-in monitoring systems.
Aside from legal ramifications, dealing with this leak carries risks as it is an incomplete version and far from a finished product. Security issues can also arise from downloading files from questionable sources, which can lead to users being infected with malware.
There is a growing debate about the ethics of leaks and their impact on game development as the gaming community grapples with the consequences. Meanwhile, modders and developers intrigued by the build are trying to fix the game, albeit with legal and ethical consequences.
