Perhaps you’ve heard of the Streisand Effect; the phenomenon that occurs when someone attempts to hide, remove, or censor information… and actually ends up amplifying it to a much broader (and often more vocal) audience.
This psychological phenomenon got its name when Barbara Streisand tried to remove an aerial photograph of her massive mansion from a public collection of California coastline photographs – and in the process, ended up broadcasting the location of her property to anyone that cared to look it up. Oops.
Now, we’re not saying Skate 4 and Barbara Streisand are similar, but there’s definitely a parallel to be drawn. Earlier this week, we reported that some Skate 4 footage had leaked online, giving us a good look at the pre-pre-pre-alpha footage partially teased in the most recent trailer.
