On the evening of June 7, a well-known insider Tom Henderson published on the site Try Hard Guides news with information about the next project Hideo Kojima — horror OVERDOSE. Since he usually shares truthful data about unannounced games, all the media were quick to replicate the note.
A few hours after the publication, Henderson reported that Kojima Productions contacted him by e-mail with a request to remove the news, but he refused her.
“I denied the request,” he wrote, indicating that the studio’s actions confirmed the leak.

Recently, Henderson regularly gets into the information field. He started with insider Call of Duty i Battlefieldand now reports about everything in a row, including the plans of platform holders.
After the news about OVERDOSE, the VGC editor spoke critically about insiders Andy Robinson. He noted that he does not support the gaming industry’s obsession with secrecy, but believes that journalists who betray relationships with developers and publishers by violating the NDA for insider points deserve punishment.
“I don’t mean a specific person,” he added. But users decided that this is how he points to Henderson and his informants.
Some players also criticized Henderson for “spoiling the surprise”. They ask him to slow down with insiders, otherwise there will be nothing to be surprised at the Summer Game Fest.
