Bring attention to themselves (clearly not the case here) 2. Bring attention to some sort of wrongdoing (again, clearly not the case) 3. They want to undermine the company through sabotage (not the issue) 4. To calm and reassure people.
Since we've narrowed the issue down to #4, we can then look at the root problem. Why are people not calm and reassured? Because FFG fails to communicate with it's fanbase in the least. I'm not saying that the leaks are the fault of FFG. I'm not justifying the leakers. I'm simply stating that FFG created a situation where leaks are prone to happen. And it's a situation that could be easily avoided with regular communication and updates.
Heck, regular communication would fix the negativity in the forums too. It would give us something else to talk about.
I'm not disagreeing with you that I think it's #4, but I think there's a strong part of it in #1 as well.
