YouTuber who outed himself as behind “insider” posts admits chasing “clout” in new apology video

YouTuber John Allen, who accidentally outed himself as being behind a video games industry “insider” Twitter account, has issued an apology video in which he admits being motivated by “clout” and “the buzz”.

Allen gained brief internet fame by leaking details of Ubisoft’s various Assassin’s Creed announcements – details which he had been given by Ubisoft itself to prepare content while under embargo.
