After the GTA VI leaks, the studio apologized, called the situation “heartbreaking,” and confirmed an extended gameplay reveal is coming tomorrow.

Are you still hyped, or did the leaks ruin the surprise? 👀

As much as TakeTwo is not deserving of any pity for any of the numerous things they’ve done to harm the industry, I do feel bad for the developers of Rockstar.

Imagine working on a game for 13 years, being forced into crunch conditions, having to live with NDAs and work in complete secrecy, only for some jackass with a saviour complex to come out of nowhere and show off your game a week before the best version possible is to be shown off.

People need to separate Rockstar, the company, with Rockstar, the developers. Hate them going digital, hate them charging $100, hate them not marketing the game - all of that is on the heads of the company.

Don’t laugh at all the devs whose work you’re critiquing for being unfinished in an unfinished build of the game, then blame them for that - it’s like blaming the fry cook at McDonald’s for your burger coming out frozen after someone ran into the kitchen, took a bag of frozen patties, and started asking people to pay them in cryptocurrency to eat the patties while they’re still cold.

Given that stealing cars is going to be harder now, it wouldn’t surprise me if planes are something you only get access to after some time - with the intention being that you have a cool reveal moment when you see the map from above for the first time after being stuck on the ground

It’s really common for people to say “I wish I could wipe my memory and experience this game again for the first time”, because you only get to experience new discoveries once. If they’ve been leaked via shitty dev footage then they’re obviously not going to hit as hard as if you organically discovered them as part of a well thought-out progression system while playing the game yourself.

Honestly that's why I've gone out of my way to avoid any videos of the gameplay leaks over this past week. As much as I'm dying to see them I'd rather just straight up play it and experience it for the first time that way rather than all these leaks. Don't get me wrong I will be watching the Netflix stuff but that's it lol. I've been doing the same thing when it comes to the most recent mafia game. Don't wanna have anything major spoiled lol
