nah, its cyberpunk. Some people do get the benefits of having certain games early. Before world of warcraft was released, a good friend of mine was lucky (though he broke an unspoken rule) enough to "play" it before it was even playable to the public. Though no one believed him either, but there you go. He was 4chan and he did a bad and leaked images of the game to prove he had it since no one believed him, and it didn't work out too well for him.

It just been better, if he left it at that that he could play it, than leaking images of the game before blizzard actually wanted the game to be shown. Makes it pretty obvious who it is. Like it doesn't really matter. But its not that unheard of that people can play games early even without being an actual developer of said company.
