Hope he gets out alive. Knowing Nintendo they would definitely hire a hitman.
- Hey, Nintendo may be Nintendo, but they’re not WoTC. Even if they did send a hitman, it would only be the cloud version.
- Oh, are the Gunpei Yokoi conspiracies circulating again?
  
  No just that Nintendo is pretty dam toxic to most people.
  
  Virtual Boy fails? Yokoi dies.
  
  WiiU fails? Iwata dies.
  
  Don't fail Nintendo...
What a dingus. This person yapped to a journo and really thought it wasn't going to be in an article? Thats what they get for yapping I guess.
- In the article it states that a DM revealed he had in fact told the leaker he was writing an article
  
  Whether a journo tells you they're doing an article or not, they're always going to put what you say in an article. It's why you don't talk to journos like you don't talk to police without a lawyer. Even if you want to be helpful, you still need a lawyer to protect you.
In another twist, Bloomberg reached out to Pyoro to ask for clarification. Over direct messages, the user reportedly told Journalist Jason Schreier that their source works for Nintendo in Japan, “but I’m unsure how they obtain their information” and that the “backend theory is a reasonable guess.”

In a since-deleted post, Pyoro then claimed that they did not know their responses to Bloomberg would be included in an article, and they swiftly set their account to private.

I guess he shouldn't trust journalists, especially big wig ones, but I feel that's shitty on Jason to not even paraphrase it.
