A group of dataminers on Discord have caused quite a stir in the games industry this week. People have been able to find early builds for a number of unreleased games, as well as pre-release versions of currently available titles.
As reported by Insider Gaming, this datamining group has so far uploaded early builds of Killing Floor 3 and Riot Games' upcoming fighting game, 2XKO. Other notable builds found on the server include PlayerUnknown Prologue, ARC Raiders and a pre-release build of Delta Force.
As these builds are available for datamining purposes, there will likely be many leaks. Publishers will no doubt be investigating the source of these leaks and looking to snuff out any attempt to leak the builds to a wider audience.

KitGuru Says: We'll have to wait and see what comes of this but with Riot's title 2XKO being involved here, I could see them exploring legal avenues to keep leaks at bay. The long-awaited League of Legends fighting game is currently in playtesting, with plans to release later this year.
