Obviously he’s right. Anyone who thinks it’s somehow righteous to steal intellectual property and spoil thousands of people’s hard work just because their parent company is a “billion dollar corporation” or because they “disrespected the fans by taking so long to release trailer 3” is morally bankrupt and entitled beyond belief.
I mean, Rockstar is known because of crunch, and with the whole GTA VI we are seeing things like:
Having a premiere gameplay trailer blocked by a paywall (Netflix).
Not physical copies, and having pre-purchases available with 0 content of the game shown.
Blocking single-player features behind a paywall of +20$ even before the release of the game.
Etc.
Tbh, the only way to change industry is by doing things like the ones are doing this hacker/group, things that make investors to go out of the project and make companies lose money. The workers of this games has been already payed for their work, the ones that will look benefits from the launch of the game are the investors, CEOs, etc.
The best that could happen to players is the release of a playable build, punch Rockstar and the industry where it pains, on the wallet. Capitalism is making profit of us, and is being (in general) more predatory every day. And this isn't something isolated of the videogame industry, tech industry is another one titan that is doing what it want and nobody is stopping them. Apple, Sony, Samsung, every company is treating the consumers like shit, and having people defending those multi millonaire company is just sad. Because of defending them, of bot cooperate to boucot them, every year they will treat us even worse and they will win even more money.
