Starfield Leaker Arrested for Felony Theft, Apology Not Enough to Avoid Jail

A 29-year-old man has been charged with a felony after allegedly attempting to sell stolen copies of the highly anticipated game Starfield online before its release. The leaker, Darin Harris, posted the first 45 minutes of the game online, which went viral despite being taken down for copyright infringement. Harris, who appeared unfamiliar with Bethesda's RPGs and modern shooters, later uploaded listings for additional copies of the game on a Japanese e-commerce platform. It is unclear how he obtained the copies early. Bethesda and Microsoft have not commented on the incident.
