  Because it was supposed to be a pre-release.
  The way those generally work is that the entire game in encrypted so you can download it early and when the release date comes they release the encryption key.
  Except this time they uploaded the game unencrypted.

    That is really stretching the definition of “leak”. Leak implies some kind of malfeasance, someone releasing the files in an unauthorized fashion. Sounds like they did exactly what they intended to do, just oopsied the timeline of encryption.

      This is more of a leak like… They forgot to seal the bottom of the boat, now they “have a leak”.
