I still don't understand this policy against leaking unreleased content. Like, have Ubisoft ever even implied that if something gets leaked, it's less likely to be officially released? I can't see why leaking something would change it.

If whoever owns the rights really don't want it released, ever, they'll just DMCA off Youtube it (or ask Ubisoft to ask us to remove it from the Wikia). If they don't mind and it's set to be released later, then nothing happens. If they don't mind, but don't plan on allowing the content to be released eventually, anyway, the leaking of something is not very likely to get them to be less likely to change their minds. The only thing a leak would do would be to show fan reaction to it.

Like when the "Deadpool" test footage was released. The movie got greenlit after being in development hell for years within days due to the overwhelmingly positive fan reaction. A negative reaction would've just lead to business as usual.
