Starfield may just be one of the most ambitious video games of the year, with gamers all around the globe really looking forward to finally playing it when it comes out in just a couple of weeks. However, when a game in modern times gets this much anticipation from fans, there are bound to be unfortunate leaks that ruin the hard work and dedication the development team has put into the final product. Fortunately, it seems like one of the main Starfield leakers has contemplated his decisions, and has backed down from leaking any more information about the much-awaited title, until it officially launches at the beginning of next month.

In a hit-or-miss attempt at getting rid of all evidence and completely hiding his tracks, the Starfield leaker has deleted all of the videos from his YouTube channel, from which he very recently used to leak a lot of information about the upcoming game. This could be because in some of the videos, he basically ended up showing his face alongside footage from the Bethesda title as well. Clearly, the leaker is not the smartest bloke on the planet, and obviously did not put in too much thought as he immorally created and posted videos related to the anticipated game.

Just a couple of days ago, on August 22, the Starfield leaker posted around 40 minutes of gameplay from the upcoming title on his YouTube channel, DHavenShadow. Refusing to stop there for some reason, he then proceeded to upload even more videos that showed his face. After getting a mental update and realizing that he may have messed up, he completely cleared out his channel by deleting all of the posted videos, just in a matter of a day or two.

It goes without saying that the Starfield leaker, DHavenShadow, has committed a couple of very serious crimes. For starters, just leaking the gameplay footage prior to the game’s official release is probably enough for Bethesda and Microsoft to sue him and put him in legal trouble. But to make matters worse, that’s not all. In a truly genius manner, the leaker basically admitted he actually stole copies of the upcoming video game from a warehouse.

Naturally, and to put the cherry on top of his already messed-up situation, he then attempted to sell the aforementioned stolen Starfield copies on the Internet. On August 24, fans of the anticipated title found out that DHavenShadow’s YouTube channel had no videos on it anymore as they completely disappeared into thin air. The leaker undeniably became infamously popular among the game’s online community, as he shared various short videos that showed his face in just two days.

Legally, the Starfield leaker could definitely be in a lot of trouble, and this could be the end of his YouTube channel, but all of that depends on how intensely Microsoft and Bethesda handle the situation. Even if you are interested, you won’t be able to see any of the content related to the game on DHavenShadow’s YouTube channel any longer, but of course, once something is posted on the Internet, it is never really gone. The gameplay footage has been posted on various online platforms, and of course, gamers have already downloaded his videos for circumstances like these.

Will you be picking up Starfield on September 6? Do you believe DHavenShadow removed the videos because of something Bethesda and Microsoft have already done? Let us know in the comments!
