A teaser from the devs isn't a "leak." Lol. But at any rate, looks cool.

It is. We’re Ghost Ship Games. Things we reveal during streams are leaks.

Dictionary definition:

“an intentional disclosure of something secret or private.”

I love you guys but you are just not in line with the common understanding of the word here. You showing off previously undisclosed footage of your own work in an official capacity isn’t a leak; this would commonly be called a “reveal” or a “teaser.” A leak is when someone reveals such content without authorization, whether they’re inside the company or not.

The beauty of language means it can be both. Oxford's definition is this: "leak something (to somebody) to give secret information to the public" which is exactly what we doing. It's been secret up until the point where we low key chooses to leak it. Would you have reacted similarly, if we'd used the synonym "disclose"? The meaning is the same - it doesn't have to be whistleblowing - we're just revealing information in a very non-corporate way, using a word that is both correct and thematically in tune with it. It's as much about how we do it, too.
