When alpha footage of an unreleased multiplayer game leaks onto the internet, how studios react can tell you a lot. Often, they make the call to go full scorched earth: Issuing DMCA takedowns to wipe leaked videos or screenshots from the web as much as possible. That's not what's happening with the yet-to-be-officially-named Battlefield 6, which for months has held early playtests that have sprung more leaks than a porcupine's water bottle.
Most attempts to upload huge chunks of Battlefield 6 alpha gameplay are getting sniped by EA lawyers, but the company is being surprisingly chill about all the other clips and screenshots making their way onto X, Reddit, and elsewhere.
