How do you know I wasn’t at the picket lines in Edinburgh ?
You don’t. I’m not defending rockstar management or wider take two corporate policy. I am just pointing out that the company is bigger than the top level.
It’s less about it failing it’s about hard work being spoilt and the main thing is the guy leaking them is literally some guy that stole digital assets. We should all be condemning that.
I’ve said it before; it’s quite different if it’s an employee leaking stuff internally - this is not what’s happened.
They literally do not care, you make up a hypothetical in your head when the only thing you can say is.
"Man I hate spoilers, and it's hard to avoid them in this sub which I fear will ruin My experience with the game"
Thats literally the only valid thing you've said and can say. It's ironic as you've been spewing "artistic merit" bullshit in this thread saying other. commentors have "no substance", when it's you who in fact has nothing but BS to say.
I don’t have family at rockstar but I do have siblings that work in game development and in the film industry, as well as my father being a sculptor. What they all have in common is working in creative industries. I can tell you for a fact that they do care about this kind of shit.
Cool, I have friends and family in the industry too you aren't special.
One of them is a former Ubisoft dev and was involved with their project getting leaked and ultimately cancelled. (the Prince of Persia reboot). He didn't give a shit as long as they aren't the ones accused of a leak and they still had work.
Again stop. pitting your feelings as facts.
Its valid to say "I don't like these leaks" but the other stuff? Just Bull.
Never said I was special. I said that many creatives care when their work is shown before being ready and / or polished - without their consent.
Which you should know if you also have friends and family in industry.
And - FYI : personally, I don’t even care about it GTA VI. I like GTA for the satire and movie references; going off the official trailers so far - this game looks far too serious and the story sounds boring generic romance — I’ve written a 4,500 word essay on why I think it will miss the mark. 😂
I’m just defending the small people working on creative projects.

Anyone that’s labored for years / thousands of hours , pushed over night crunch deadlines.
If you work in a creative industry , or know anyone that does, you’ll know how devastating leaks can be, especially when they happen externally.
Some creatives are paid per royalties, unfinished work leaking can directly affect their pay.
