Where did he confirm it? The only quote I've seen is that he understands their reasoning, but didn't have enough information to confirm/deny it. And having dug through a replay file myself, the only ID information I could find was the public B.Net identifier. Until I see some actual evidence to the contrary or at least a halfway decent explanation, I don't buy it.

However, the reasoning is chat spam ('ddosing') and even if there is some obscure exploit in the replays, a simple script does the same job for you right now very quickly. Not releasing the replays has 0 mitigation value on that problem.

So, even if there is an obscure unintended exploit of some kind, lack of release has 0 effect on mitigation. The problem is B.Net's chat functions, not something hidden in replay files. This isn't even going into things like how all the players have replays already floating around the internet for free download.

It's a big conspiracy. MLG convinced R1CH to lie as well...
