We’re not linking the site here, even with an NSFW warning, because there are tons of hardcore porn thumbnails surrounding the video. Something stinks on PornHub, and it’s not just the usual whiff of poor life choices.

During Gamescom this year, Fallout 4 footage was shown behind closed doors, but as quickly as it was leaked to YouTube, it was removed.
Today, GameSpot shares that the seven minute video includes “snippets of the video show the game’s unnamed hero mowing down a horde of zombies, and aiming through sights on an automatic weapon, then later, accessing computer terminals, lock-picking, and interacting with his Pip-Boy”. Attendees weren’t allowed to film the footage, and the game’s publisher, Bethesda, doesn’t want it out in the wild just yet.
So where’s an enterprising leaker to turn?
The site has proven a better way than many alternatives to host the footage, since many other video-sharing sites tend to send a barrage of trackers and ads into users’ browsers.
Some Fallout 4 fans have been spreading the footage and have included various links on the Sugarbombed forum. Pornhub appears to be the longest-lasting home for the video, having made it a full 24 hours.
And mystery uploader Fallout4Throwaway has done a good job of disguising the video as something suitably saucy and unrelated to unreleased games. If you’re a company like Disney/Lucasfilm, you pretty much accept this is going to happen and just release the footage/trailer publicly.
